Because there are sizes of SD cards which you can't finish using based on the capacity of your device (64gb, 128gb etc). This is excluding the internal memory which your device comes with.

So why will you need extra SD card slot?

Moreover there are dual SIM slots because they serve different purposes (e.g MTN and Glo, Etisalat and Airtel etc). SD card is SD card. No need for dual SD card slot.

Instead of Dual Micro SD cards which would take up more aesthetic space phone, manufacturers should keep bumping up internal storage space and Micro SD card manufacturers also increase its capacity.

There's no need since you can get up to 32gig
Re: Opinion: Why Don't Phones Start Having Dual Micro SD Card Slots? by Lovelynature(m): 4:50pm On Jan 19, 2016
I thought so before, but later had a rethink. Yeah, there's no need for that since you can get up to 32gig. Sizes vary
Re: Opinion: Why Don't Phones Start Having Dual Micro SD Card Slots? by Nobody: 5:12pm On Jan 19, 2016
It aint Necessary Brova... There are SD Cards that are very massive(128gb) size... Some phones even possess 32gb internal memory capacity...

The only ish is to probably build phones that can accept 500gb SD cards or more...

Not possible. SD cards are for storage. So having 2 SD cards is pretty pointless. They will both be used for the same purpose (i.e storage). You don't see a human being or any animal with two brains.
On the other hand, Dual sim cards is very useful since they both operate on different networks. So if a network is down, you can swap to another.

Okay. If you say so. Then I think we should have 2 hearts in case one fails.
