What is the advantage of HAVING an SD slot?

Since we already have USB-C, which BTW can handle everything, there is no
point in a bunch of slots that might never get used. Slots that are also
wasting valuable internal space of the device.  Why not have a wired network
port, HDMI, Display Port, audio in/out and USB-A slots in addition to the SD
card slot?    

Because that would be absurd.  If one needs those ports, then get a USB-C dock
(I have 3) for those things. Problem(s) solved.
