How so?

It seems the Nexus 7 and an entire lines of Apple devices have done just fine without expandable storage.

I certainly understand why folks want the option, but as demonstrated, being able to charge a premium for different tiers of internal storage works wonders for profit margins.

I have the Nexus 7 and as I replied to another comment it is extremely frustrating dealing with only 16GB of space. Being able to pop in a 32GB SD card would alleviate a lot of my issues, especially during travel.

This annoys me a bit less on my Galaxy Nexus as I don't typically install large games (> 1GB) on it.

Devices can do fine without expandable storage, sure - but it's an easy differentiator for Android to make, and is one of the reasons I bought into the platform to begin with.
