It sucks that it's hard to find MicroSD slots, but when you can get 512 GB onboard and just dump it to a USB drive, it's basically just a matter of semantics at that point.

I go places a lot of times with sketch internet connections and have a huge digital library I keep stored on my phone. Not to mention all the pictures and videos I take (and video recordings take up quite a large chunk of space). Then you get into, ok, I can pay $400 for this phone so it has 512GB instead of 128GB. That sucks when you can buy a 1,000GB card for less than $100.

So why do I need to spend so much more money to get something that should be so ridiculously cheap?

Capitalism. Same reason most anything is expensive. Shake your fist and move along 🤷‍♂️
