Is not about simply adopting a standar, but making a propietary one that could adopt a few tricks from them.

But that standard has to be economically viable.

Not everything about an M.2 drive is at a high prize. Actually, and I know you already know this, the M. 2 designation simply refers to the form factor. The reason why those drives are so expensive has to do with the type of memory tech used. The interface is flexible and can be used in different applications including some lower price ones. Thats because, as wikipedia, explains: "Computer bus interfaces provided through the M.2 connector are PCI Express 3.0 (up to four lanes), Serial ATA 3.0, and USB 3.0".

It obviously accomodates a wide range of options and posibilites. Definitely more flexible than the much older SD card standar.
