I upgraded from a Galaxy S3 that suddenly died, so I was a bit peeved when I suddenly couldn't just move my SD card over. You're right though, in reality it's not a big deal, but it would've been nice to be able to just slot an extra 32gb into the side. It's not absolutely necessary, but since I upgrade on a long cycle, the extra storage lets me extend my phone's obsolescence cycle a bit more.

There’s no incentive for them to offer a feature that would only exist to divert cash flow to other sources and, even if they did jump into the removable storage industry, preclude them from charging a premium for extra storage. Only offering internal storage also encourages “preparing for the worst”, i.e., getting more storage than you will most likely need.
