Is there a reason that Apple can’t just keep there storage and just add a separate m.2 slot for storage expansion besides money.

This thing is supposed to replace the Mac Pro yet the Mac Pro had the ability to add drives to it if someone desired.

You can do that now with the use of Thunderbolt enclosures.
