The traditional approach to an SD card is to put it in the tray. The OnePlus line of phones had its second SIM slot also accept an SD card. That is, one tray, one waterproof gasket, with the tray long enough to accept two cards. This is the same on the Note 10+, and is in fact an upsell feature from the Note 10.

Headphone jack needing to be waterproofed is a bit of a lie, as there have been IP68 phones with a headphone jack. It's simply wanting to cut down on prices.

Yeah it's a small increase in the gap for waterproofing because of the additional lanes required but it's a decent sized hit to the internal volume taken out by the longer tray. I'm not trying to say these are rock hard laws just a set of reasons a lot of phones have removed certain features.
