Appart from what the article mentioned, cards corrupt way too much on raspberry pis and similar devices compared to usb or ssd storage for example. This gives an easy option to replace them on some embedded device that you might not have full control over.
But why?
Probably easier to switch out for debugging or to flash a SSD from a PC.
