So users here are right to make a big stink about it. The only way to change things.

With modern hardware, conversion doesn't really take a lot of time nowadays. Hardware accelerated encoding has also improved by leaps. However, I do agree that having an expansion slot is a good thing. The only acceptable reason for leaving out an expansion slot is if a device is supposed to be waterproof.

You left out the pricey annual subscriptions to cloud services.
