It's nice but I'm honestly baffled that it's seen as such a big deal as it's pretty trivial to make grub boot off USB, leaving the SDcard only being used doing the initial boot.
Is it just about the convenience?

I didn't downvote you, just my opinion: > it's pretty trivial to make grub boot off USB, leaving the SDcard only being used doing the initial boot In that case you still need an SDcard, and it requires manual setup. With this you can truly boot from USB drives easily WITHOUT the SD card.
- vaccinator 6y agoYou have to update it using an SD card?
- progval 6y agoAfter the initial update, you can use it for something else.
- mayli 6y agoThere is no grub
- alanfranz 6y agoYou need two parts instead of one. I'd need a microsd just to boot. And most people would then use a usb drive because they're usually faster, especially with USB 3.0. So, the microsd is an unnecessary hassle and additional component. That's why people are so happy (and it used to work on rpi3 since years).
