@baastrup Asked many times, opted out for performance reasons:

Hmm now two of my favorit features are missing form native Android (restricted Profiles and sdcard as internal storage) It might be time to chance back to a Nexus tablet. A shame as i like the Sony hardware.

Other OEMs opted out of this feature, such as Samsung and LG

I thought Nexus devices lacked SD card

As most people would stick in a class 4 32gb and then moan like hell that their Xperia was corrupted to the sky... Even worse, they put in one of the millions of counterfeit cards in circulation and really make a mess.

And there is a very good reason for that! You dont remove features from the native Android.

I use the feature on my z3 phone (concept software) works great!
