I literally never heard or read about a user say that when using an sd card. They just took it out to charge more for more storage.

It's not the users saying it, it's the OEMs. Back when this was a new discussion, I at least remember Google saying this as justification for why it stopped including them in their devices after the nexus 4

Well, that was a lie to justify screwing over their users.

I don't think it's a lie, it's objectively true that shit SD cards would have that effect on performance if used as adopted storage. But I do agree with you that it was a convenient excuse, as I wrote at the end of my original comment.

Yeah but how many people you kbow actually formatted their sd card to install apps on it? Everyone I know (and myself) use it only for media.
