I agree that having an SD slot in a phone might be a bit less useful now
phones have more built-in storage than they used to have.

the card and increase the amount of swap space.

Apples to apples, a phone without sd capability is a crappier phone.
Because it can't do what a phone with sd capability can do - that's why.

For me the quality of a phone is define by *many* *more* features beside
having an SD card or not.

For example having security update for at least 5-8 years is much more
important for me than having an SD card slot. Also having vanilla
Android instead of some manufacturer UI makes things much easier.

For "minimum" specs, my free 2021 Galaxy A32-5G has a thousand apps on it.
The 64GB permanent storage is holding all that with a bit of room to spare.

Well - if you really need 1000(!) apps, then you need a lot of storage.
But I can not even fathom why one would need 1000(!) apps on a device.

I have less than 300 apps and 128 GB internal memory on a device which
will get another three years of security updates.

So, my tentative conclusion is 64GB is a perfectly fine amount, even today.
As long as you have portable storage capability.
 
I wouldn't dream of purchasing a crappy Pixel or iPhone with that little.
Because you can't increase the portable storage with crappy phones.

And I *love* this phone! Everything works just as expected and with
*vanilla* Android on it and not that crappy Samsung UI and all that
Samsung bloatware apps.

And no - I do *not* use *any* Google cloud services. I run my own
Nextlcoud server where I keep *all* my data - address book, calendar,
pictures, music and so on...

I wouldn't use a Samsung phone without installing LineageOS first to get
at least a decent Android version.
