Answer 1

The PC case has more room than a phone and the slots are standardized which is one of the things that makes backwards compatibility possible. You can install an SSD in a computer from decades ago and it will work. The storage solution for your phone is more or less customized for your specific model and it wouldn’t be useful for anything else
