  Could this also be to keep body size down, though? The amount of room 
taken up by a card reader mounted directly on the board will be a lot 
smaller than card reader -> socket -> connector -> cable -> connector -> 
socket on the board, though the intermediate cable makes things much 
easier to repair -- even just mounting the card reader on a socket 
directly on the board still requires more room because of the extra 
connectors.
