I get what you're saying, and it is a concern, but there is a decent argument (to me, anyway) that with 1TB you probably won't be taking the card out to be fumbling with it in the first place. Even with on-location shooting, "I filled up a 1TB card, I need to archive it" is probably a good reason for a lunch break.

No one in their right mind would fill a 1TB card before swapping. That's an insane amount of potential lost. I could see it as a secondary backup disk in DSLR about it.
If you're recording 4K video, a terabyte is about two hours of recording time. Plenty of folks will fill that before swapping.
Nobody in their right mind would have thousands of photos with no backup, but most people never backup anything.
So what's your argument here, that you agree with me?
He is saying that people will fill a 1TB card before swapping exactly the same way that people often leave thousands of photos floating around without backup.
