They give the majority of these services away for free and the carrier's aren't bribing them to cause more data traffic. Google isn't making money off of you streaming data unless you are on project Fi, aside from the contribution that your presence in the ecosystem provides through their profiling.
Those would be markets where better solutions, such as devices with more internal storage and networks with ready access to cheap or free data, are not readily available.
Even more nuanced users are having trouble with the fragmented implementation.įor these reasons, Google has stated that they believe removable storage should be limited to budget devices that are sold in developing markets. MicroSD integration is also more confusing for the basic user, which all the threads about adoptable storage and apps2sd will prove. All three of those points are obvious and any one or two of them is justification to eschew the usage of that feature in favor of more internal storage, which is what they themselves promote and offer.
MicroSD cards are less stable, less secure and slower than internal storage. The 'make money off you' is an incredibly weak argument because it ignores obvious reasons that are clearly stated by the entity making the decision, and those reasons are logically validated by the evidence we have available here within our forums.
