> 3. biggest and most important reason I learned from the horses mouth, people used to put the cheapest junkiest "value" SD cards off Amazon in them, which would be slow and negatively impact UX, and would also spontaneously die, taking the customers photos with them, so then the angry customers would blame the phone for both issues, so they had remove it to ensure UX and reliability across the board Thanks, that's really interesting and a bit disappointing to be honest.

High quality SD cards have always existed but consumers have been avoiding them because "the other one's much cheaper and I'm no sucker to pay more for the same amount of storage". Also, Amazon is full of counterfit SD cards. That's why we can't have nice things. So it's understandable phone makers are trying to avoid these extra hassles causing consumer frustration and support tickets.
