Lots of data. The more data you use, the more money in their pockets. I was thinking once of getting the 64 gb Moto x but guess what. Can't with Verizon. Manufacturers were moving away from sd drives but many have moved back. All I know is that it is a lot cheaper to buy a larger capacity sd card than to but a phone with more memory. Sd drives are great for media (movies, music) that you would not want taking up your precious phone memory. Leave the phone memory for programs. I personally would love a moto x+1 in 32gb with a sd card.

Of the recent flagships from HTC, LG, Motorola, and Samsung, IIRC only the LG G2, HTC One (M7), and Moto X didn't have expandable memory.
People like to say it's a carrier thing. I'm leaning more towards an Android support thing. KitKat seems to better handle expandable memory the way Android and Google want. Now we're seeing micro SD come back to the G3 and One M8.

I'm sorry, Ry doesn't translate well to humans. It's definitely nothing against you. On one hand, you're right, it'd be awesome to see choices expand as well as capabilities. On the other hand, Moto got most of it's praise on the Moto X, G, etc based on very smart decisions they made that were the result of fairly extensive market research - I believe Ry is indicating that they did well capitalizing on that research once and should continue to look for the optimal results, rather than listening to what nerds like me want them to do
