why the mobos and pc casings usually don't have a micro sd port?

I'd like to know

Because most don't need one. Just get a cheap USB adapter.

but then you could just swap your card from your switch, camera, smartphone to your pc
i don't see how that wouldn't make things easier

The last time i had a MicroSD i simply put it into my smartphone. If i need to transfer data to it, i just connect my phone to the PC and copy the files to the micro SD card without the need to get it out.

For the other cases, i have a small adapter at home where i simply insert the MicroSD card and then put that into a USB slot, acts like a USB drive then.

I know why you're thinking that, prebuilds have them. Actually that is just a usb card reader.

All you would need is a usb flash drive looking adapter that supports sd/micro sd cards.

Installing 3.5 inch card readers are a thing of the past and rather pointless. And they often live a short life due to how cheaply made they are.

Ive been using usb flash drive looking adapters for years. Instead of usb flash drives with a set size, I just use am adapter and swap out sd cards. It works just like a normal flash drive. I have each major os on a seperate sd card, allowing boot installs, repairs, etc. Or other tools like Linux livecd for certain distros, hires boot cd, memtest, the list goes on

because microsd cards are not really accessories for PC.

you can easily buy cheap usb card readers, or front panel card readers (if you pc case supports them)

not all PC cases have 3.5" or 5.25" front panel slots.
cd/dvd/blu-ray writers are already optional hence the slots are usually not a feature anymore on PC case models.

you can transfer files from phones via bt, wifi or usb

if you need a card reader, you can get usb 3.5 or 5.25 bays with readers on them
sd = 2g limit
sdhc = 32g limit
sdxc = 2t limit
sduc = 128t limit

Given how PC Cases have gotten better over the years and done away with external bays, you best bet is an external usb adapter that support sd cards

Most of your answers (except the one from Bad) are useless. I know you can buy a usb msd reader. i just don't see why would it be so much fuss to make one msd port. there are already 8 to 10 usb ports on a pc. tey could make at least on micro sd instead of one usb

Because its not something a motherboard needs. It has usb, that is exactly what a card reader would use.

When u buy a prebuild desktop or laptop with then built in, it is simply a card reader connected to usb

Many folks don't even remove their SD card and simply plug in the device to pc via usb cable. You can view the SD card that way as well. Whether it's a phone, tablet, camera, etc.
