Apple makes a greater percentage of profit on the larger capacity devices. Their price structure is designed to steer consumers towards those more profitable devices.
It has nothing to with security, data integrity, or card compatibility. Plenty of companies manage to implement SD cards in their product and are able to deal with those "issues". Macbook Pros have SD card slots and handle them just fine.
Why can't people accept that a for-profit company makes decisions that benefit their profit? Why is it "cynical" to believe that? Why is it preferable to offer alternative explanations?

We don't know for sure, but I for one am OK with the explanation that the decision was based on Apple's business model. Clearly, consumers are OK with this too-which why Apple can sell a gajillion of thse devices. Plainly, removeable storage options are not that important to the average consumer. Note too that the bestselling e-ink reader-Amazon's Kindle- has no removeable storage options either.
Could it be that for the average consumer removeable storage options are unnecessary on
mobile devices?
Quelle horreur!
