I'd have agreed with you easily years ago when this was a big deal and phones only came with 8GB onboard memory. A 64GB phone is more than enough.
I have a ~9TB media collection at home, so the idea that you need to come up with 10 SD cards to fit what may be your entire collection on you at all times strikes me as some sort of crippling problem that you have to realize most people do not have. If I tried to do that, I might as well carry around a backpack with hard drives. Ugh. I sync all my music with Spotify these days and it's great. I think I have around 50hrs worth of music, which will be more than enough to keep me occupied, and I can just go ahead and make a new playlist and snyc wirelessly any time any where if I get an urge to listen to anything, even if I don't own it at home. It's really nice, you should try it before being so angry at things you don't use that are really quite good.
I'm quite a power user. However, I've learned to make technology my bitch, rather than being a slave to concepts that were essential 5 years ago but are increasingly obsolete today. You should try it. It's fun. I can stream anything from my media server to any of my devices instantly. The absolute last thing I want is to put it on tiny non-redundant memory chips and carry it around waiting to get lost or stolen.
