True, I would much prefer eMMC at a minimum (or a SATA connector and/or USB3 port that could boot an SSD and take advantage of its speed). I would definitely pay extra for these types of features vs. having to use SD
That said, I do agree with OP's dislike of SD cards. I've had more than my share go bad in other devices.
