If there’s one thing people who buy high-end camera equipment simply cannot afford, it’s a $10 flash card reader. The new iMac also does not come with a floppy drive, Zip drive or SCSI support. $10? Do Apple sell them that cheaply? https://www.apple.com/shop/mac/accessories/power-cables https://www.apple.com/shop/mac/accessories/power-cables Why sell for $10 what can be sold for $40. That's somewhat beside the point that requiring additional cables and dongles isn't as nice of a user experience compared to a system which doesn't need that. It means the design is useful to fewer people, and arguably a less useful design overall. -- Maybe not an issue for Zip drives; probably more of an issue for the SD Card.
