I also like having expanded storage. But if you actually care about privacy?
You want the minimum amount of data on your phone at any given time. Your recent camera roll, any cached music and apps, and that is really it. Everything should be offloaded to your private storage ASAP
Because for as shit as google and apple are? You can also remote wipe those devices. less effective if it is a government agent that has it, but it is a thing. And, depending on the storage setup, that sd card might be raw dogging it to begin with.

I understand sd card is a security risk. But you don’t have to use it. The utility is the key. I’m just 100% against corporations enshittificating their products so you pay hundreds more for a 50$ part.

Couldn’t you encrypt the SD card? And while you’re at it encrypt the internal storage also. Linux should support that, right?

It shouldn't be difficult for a custom ROM like GrapheneOS to make the user explicitly allow a microSD card to be mounted if that would cause any security issues.
