I’m kinda curious as to why everything hasn’t just shifted over to these tiny, affordable little guys. They can have so much on them!

Think of it this way, everything has a purpose.
The point of an SD is to be small, compact, and suitable for mobile devices such as camera’s, phones, or your Switch.
An SSD is meant to be fast. It has a limited lifespan, like the SD card, in terms of how much it can re-write, but it is incredibly fast. That’s why they’re used by hobbyists and gamers for storage.
A HDD is commonly used for things that need a lot of re-writes, or bulk storage. In terms of $ per GB, HDD’s are still the king, though SSD’s are catching up.
And just to throw a neat factoid at you. Magnetic Tape is still used. Though, afaik, it’s really only used for long term storage of system backups.
