It also hasn't prevented from existing a few hundred million devices with
removable, writable, user controllable and understandable, officially
supported "external" microsd memory cards.

Yes, I'm talking about phones running Android 1.* through 2.*.

Does anyone remember those? Incidentally, they still account for something
like 95% of all current Android devices.

What if you're writing exactly this - a cloud based storage application? Or
an email client (attachments)? Or a file manager?

Do you tell your users who deliberately purchased a device that has both
"internal external" memory as well as a memory card - "no, you just can't
save your files there"?
