I'm personally surprised by Nintendo continuing to include user accessible SD cards in their consoles from the DS through the Switch. It becomes incredibly convenient for piracy and I would have thought they were doing it on purpose to at least sell the hardware if it wasn't for all the evidence you the contrary.

IMO SD cards are not good for gaming and accessible M.2 should be more common

Okay, but as I understand PlayStation and Xbox do not have easily accessible drive ports at all. Or am I mistaken?

It's not about what is common but instead that micro sd cards aren't typically designed for so many reads and writes.
