And then carry around a separate device?!

If you like to store large quantities of photos, music or audiobooks or 
video content on your phone then the MicroSD card expansion is great. 
That said, none of the phones I currently use have a MicroSD card slot.

You're pretty much limited to very low end phones if you want a MicroSD 
card slot and/or a headphone jack, with the exception of the Sony XPERIA 
phones (which can cost more than an iPhone Pro Max model).
