I did not know about the attempted murder in KitKat.

In the Play Store you still find developer notations in the write-ups for various storage-seeking apps, especially third-party camera apps, that inability to use external storage on KitKat is Android's doing and not their own. Neither Google nor the OEMs are fond of microSD functionality when the incremental sale price of a few more GB of internal is many times the same amount for microSD: First with Jellybean and more extremely in KitKat Google tried to kill off phones like my first Andrid Gingerbread LG, with less than 1 GB of internal storage but full functionality for installing and running apps from microSD - I still use it without a SIM as an audiobook reader, and offline exercise MP3, map and timer.

Yes, I noticed that the Google Pixel 6 does not have a microSD card slot.

Samsung still puts one in many of their phones, which perhaps explains why they sell so well.

MicroSD seems to be the least expensive form of storage, though not as durable as SSD.
