> Do you think apple never supported SD cards because they wanted more people to put stuff in icloud?

Uhh... of course? Both companies charge extra for more space — Apple past 5GB and Google past 15GB. They make money by forcing you to upgrade your online storage.

What makes them an "unreliable mess that cause more problems than they solve"? I've never had a single problem with an SD card. I put files on it, sometimes I read those files.

Not iCloud: Apple would prefer you buy all your storage (NAND) from Apple rather than Kingston, Samsung or SanDisk. Soldered, with an Apple-sized margin.
