Think of this as a beginner's guides to the Android device from a non-traditional user's point of view. I'll keep it simple and plain as much as I can for the new users. I'll also try to keep all the technical aspects true as much as I can while keeping it simple.

The Nexus One and it's limited internal memory

You'd have to ask Google why it was really removed. But it was in Android 4 that they stopped having separate storage partitions for apps & data and media, and I suspect that's the key. Early androids had very little app storage, plus sd cards for media. For these phones (like the Nexus One) the apps to sd solution was a great help. Then manufacturers started adding significant storage to their phones, but to fit the way android 2.2 or 2.3 worked they partitioned it into an app area and a media area, and called the media area "/sdcard".

So in android 4 Google got rid of the "separate areas for apps and media" model and defaulted to a single partition which you can use for anything. Put another way, Google's logic is that with a unified storage partition moving to sd is not needed, and Google don't really support sd anyway. Some Samsung devices have has it added back.
