True, but you have to remember that Google will have paid good money to find out what the majority of potential customers want in a $200 tablet device, and the odds are that an SD-card slot is pretty low down on the totem pole. It's also likely true that (a) most Kindle Fire users haven't come close to running out of storage, and (b) the majority of Nook users have never even put an SD card into their device.
The Nexus 7 won't lose more than a handful of sales to existing 7-inch tablets over the lack of an SD-card slot.
