1080p standard needs to stop.

You know what's funny?

You seem to think the xb1 is the only console that can upgrade drive speed (and overcharge for it). I paid less to swap my ps4 hdd to a 1tb 7200rpm sshd than Microsoft charges (above the lower tier) for their overpriced model.

I could also go pure ssd if I wanted.

You're acting like you have to buy some Microsoft branded HDD for the x1. Sorry, but you can plug in any brand you want, I'm not even sure there is an xbox branded one, and if there is, who cares, you get whatever you want. 

Even a pure ssd one.

Not an internal one.  Go ahead and use any external drive you want, but that doesn't cause the same performance gains you seem to think it does.

API calls, OS calls, background processes, etc are all loaded off the OS install. The OS install is NOT on your external hard drive. If you want to see true performance gains outside of load times -- it needs to be an internal drive. Sorry.

CORRECTION: I guess i did buy a 5600rpm 18 months ago. 7200rpm SSHD 2.5" drives are quite a bit more expensive.
