I think it comes down to 3 things (in decreasing importance):
1) The overwhelming majority of their users don't have enough books to fill up internal memory, much less to need an SD card. So they don't want to spend the money on something that only a small minority will care about.
2) The had a lot of problems with the SD card on the first generation kindle, and they didn't want to repeat that situation.
3) They want to encourage people to use their cloud to lock them into the Amazon ecosystem.

I feel exactly the same way. You should do what I do. Keep all your books on your phone in Calibre Companion, and then just put a smallish subset on your eReader.
