It's about $$$. Fishing your $$$. They knew what they did.
Naw it was to keep cost down. A 2tb gen 3 SSD in 2020 was way more expensive than it is now, and it would mean they take even more of a hit per unit sold or they make ps5 600 dollars, you can’t have it all for 400/500 dollars.
if they really wanted to rape your pockets they would have put out proprietary memory cards instead of letting you use whatever 3rd party card you can find
