I wish more people understood this. People should demand higher quality SD cards (and slot controllers) instead of insisting on soldering equivalent chip on the board!

Of course wouldn't say no to M.2 slot (or similar) either. :-)

You do know that the emmc on a Odroid is not soldered, right ? You can remove it easily with your hands.
I didn't know that. That's very nice!
Yeah, the read performance is like 10 times faster than a microsd on an rpi4. Also having your boot drive in eMMC is less of a risky because they are usually more reliable than microSD.
