Okay, but as I understand PlayStation and Xbox do not have easily accessible drive ports at all. Or am I mistaken?

It's not about what is common but instead that micro sd cards aren't typically designed for so many reads and writes.

The ps5 port only requires one screw to access. I know the hard drive on the PS4 was only one screw to access as well. I'm uncertain of the Xbox, they had a proprietary hard drive for the 360 so I didn't go down that path. While that is slightly more complicated than inserting a SD card, it is not technical.
