eMMC isn't that reliable. It's basically an SD card on a chip.

Difference is they're more optimised for random writes than large files like most SD cards, but you can get such SD cards too ("High Endurance" models)

When was the last time the eMMC on your phone failed? They are very reliable.

I have had several SDs fail sooner or later since rpi1 though which is why I personally won't be using them any further.
