So wait, why can't PS4 have external HDD support?

I never intend on using one, so I don't really care. Needing to lug around a hard drive seems like an added inconvenience. I'm not going to say no to external HDDs, but I'm not going to fight for it either. Also, you could get an external 2.5 inch HDD and take the HDD out of the enclosure. I think it's kinda funny that that's somehow cheaper...

It's not. Prices for internal 2.5" HDDs are obscenely expensive once you get in the ~2TB range. I can get a 3TB external for the same price as a 1TB internal.

It's not as easy, but if you look a little bit, you can find decent prices for 2.5 inch ard drives.

True, but you can get double the storage for almost $30 cheaper with an external 3.5", and triple for almost the same price.
