I really don't understand this trend outside of profit squeezing and pushing users to cloud storage subscriptions. Right now on Amazon $120 bags you 2 TB of 6 GB/sec consumer flash storage. Don't tell me they can't find another 128 GB, especially with economy of scale.
The year is 2024 and storage is cheap. No excuses.
You begin your comment saying you don't understand. And then you state the exact reasons why. You do know. You just hope your wrong. You aren't. Google (and Apple) have become worse then Microsoft.
