Why do we still use hard drives and SSDs for computers, when SD cards can hold like a TB of data in a tiny package?

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!

because for the same price you can get a 1TB SD card, you can get 8TB of HDD or 2TB of SSD storage.

With the added advantage that the the SSD has 6GBps, the HDD has 600MBps read speeds, where the SD card has a pathetic 160MBps read speed and only 90MBps Write speed

AND you can only write to a specific part of the SD card about 1000 times before it is worn out. VS more like 10000 for an ssd or effectively unlimited for an hdd
