I see the success of devices without an expansion slot are the result of marketing campaigns that managed to pull wool over people's eyes, convincing them that this is not needed. Especially considering that we (the users) could easily have this included for the same price. Of course, device makers like to save money, however insignificant it may seem. And it gives them a chance to lock a lot of users into their cloud.
It is a slippery slope, if we let them get away with this they will take that strategy further. Some ideas:
1.Reduce onboard memory to 4 or even 2 GB
2.No Bluetooth
3.Old WiFi modules
For me it is like reducing the size of a milk carton from a quart to 0.9 quart for the same price. And people's response being: "oh, that is enough for me. If I have more I will get too fat, anyway."
