Less of an issue yes, but still massively better than not having them.
Having to rely on an internet connection to access all your files is not good. Even more so if you're using a paid proprietary software. With an SD card you can load it up with files and take it with you. And swap it between devices if you want.
As for removable battery, there is no substitute for being able to go from 0% to 100% battery or replace an old worn battery in seconds. It was so useful.
