It contributes to sodium intake, if you're watching out for that. Probably at about a third of table salt's sodium by mass, though. Might cause overeating too, because it's tasty. That's it.

But that's the difference. Jobs might've done something like this for a reason. That's not what happened here. He probably wouldn't have tolerated it as a bug.

Your case is obviously not this, but SD cards aren't a great primary drive, as Raspberry Pi power users sometimes discover. Their durability can be unpredictably spotty.
