I’m blaming OP if I start seeing SD cards without adapters .

Why pay more to get less?

Just because it’s less that becomes e-waste since I don’t need them.

They’ll still produce them and just sell you one without it.

You’re willing to pay more to get less?!

Because I don’t use them. I either keep them in a pile at the bottom of a drawer or they go to a landfill.

Adapters keep dieing on me, so having extra is a necessity.

And you could still have them at the same price.

I think the issue is that for these companies, it’s cheaper to only make one SKU that includes the adapter (or sometimes a mini and full adapter) rather than making 2 or 3 separate SKUs. That costs extra money for the separate packaging, branding, registering UPC symbols, etc. and they’re not sure if there’s enough demand for it. And the profit margins on SD cards are razor thin already, so there’s not much room to experiment with stuff like that.

It sucks for the environment.
