Yeah jackasses are always gonna jackass. There's still a public interest in making devices upgradable for the purpose of minimizing e-waste.

I'd just love to buy a device with a moderate amount of unupgreadable SSD and an SD slot so that I can put a more memory in it later so the device can last longer.

Agreed but please with something other than microSD cards. Yes, microSD Express is a thing, but both cards and hosts supporting it are rare, the size format doesn't exactly lend itself to durable flash chips, thermals are questionable, and even the most modern microSD Express cards barely hit 800 MB/sec speed, whereas Apple's stuff has hit twice or more that for years [2].
