Was flash storage more expensive then? Nowadays this might only save pennies per device, right?
Pennies per device can add up when hundreds of thousands of devices are produced. But it is not only the price of the storage but the whole circuit layout is simpler and therefore easier/faster to design and produce. That adds up too.
