The reasons for designing the slim have more to do with reducing production costs and increasing margins on each unit sold. Memory cards are just like controllers: high margin items designed to reduce losses on consoles sold near production cost.
Sure, I want to be able to buy large memory cards for the same price as a Micro SD card and I dislike proprietary media formats due to the controlled market prices they create, but at the same time I understand why they are made in the first place.
I've only spent $20 on PSV memory cards since I bought one (the console came with 8GB and I paid $20 for a 16GB card), but I won't lie: I would probably buy a lot more digital games if memory card prices were a lot less.
