I use the SD card on my Acer tablets to store music. I enjoy listening to it while driving (through car speakers), where I don't have access to the cloud.
At home, it doesn't matter so much, as I often listen to streamed music using the TuneIn Radio app or on my computer. I guess the need for SD storage comes down to how you want to use the tablet. Personally, I greatly appreciate the flexibility extra storage provides, but I can see where that wouldn't matter at all to many.
How much more would it cost the manufacturer to include an SD card slot? It does seem to be a feature desired by a lot of people, so why not include that as an option? I know that Google wanted to keep the price around $200 to compete with the Fire and other offerings, but most people wouldn't blink an eye if the device cost $20 more.
