Eben Upton AMA at Pi 4 launch:

Q: The SD-card speed increase is very welcome! Was an eMMC or M.2 slot considered?

A: We don't think there's a compelling advantage to socketed eMMC over SD. M.2 would have been fun, but we didn't like the form factor considerations, and had no spare PCIe lanes. I think USB 3.0 SSDs are the way to go for high-performance storage.
