Lets try to not confuse "external storage" (effectively a partition on the emmc, but mounted under /sdcard for legacy reasons) and an actual SD card.
Removable storage, SD, USB, etc, was moved from external_storage to media_storage with Android 3.1.
Note that external_storage was still about putting files in an area readable by any and all apps that had read_external_storage permission.
In other words, the change would do jack all to safeguard against idiots like the whatsapp app devs.
