the fact that they decided to go with a 2015 inefficient one is kinda strange
Name one?

Is there any improvement in this? It's pretty important as RPi usually boots off it.
"Support for these additional bootmodes will be added in the future via optional bootloader updates. The current schedule is to release PXE boot first, then USB boot."

Doubled, so I guess around 40 MB/s. Still a far cry from fastest SD cards that can both read and write over 250 MB/s. Hopefully RPi4+ will improve on this. :-)

I'm very happy for RPi4 SD improvements. Until now, RPi has had same lacking ~20 MB/s SD performance from the start. AFAIK, this is the first time ever there's been any hardware improvement in this regard.
I've had a microsdxc card with 90 MB/s reads and 80 MB/s writes since early 2014. Some current cards can read & write more than 250 MB/s, so there's still room for improvement.
As 95-99% of all RPis boot from (micro) SD and use it as primary storage, I'd say SD performance is a rather fundamental (often ignored) aspect of RPi performance.
Of course you can. My tongue was very much in cheek :)
...but still, it was announced today, savour the moment :P

"The Pi4B has a dedicated SD card socket which suports 1.8V, DDR50 mode (at a peak bandwidth of 50 Megabytes / sec). In addition, a legacy SDIO interface is available on the GPIO pins."
