I don't know what irritates you so much. Nowadays NVMe SSDs are cheaper or the same as SD cards per unit of capacity.

  Not at the low end of capacity they aren't, and they're also physically bulky and make cases a lot harder. Plus whatever hardware they had to add to do the interfacing costs money. Their focus is education and industrial controls or signage, I'm not sure why they're so heavy on the ultra high performance stuff lately, there's lots of stuff that money could have been spent on that would be a little more relevant, like onboard battery backup circuitry, USB-C video instead of those horrid micro HDMIs, random cool stuff like LoRa, an onboard Qwiic connector, a physical switch or button and NFC for easy setup, an RGB status LED, an onboard FeRAM chip, etc. They're not desktop PCs or high performance computing devices, why are we trying to make them do that?
