I'm not so sure you understand how backwards compatibility works.
You can use an external drive to store games from previous generations, you don't need to have this card to store and play Xbox, 360, and Xbox one titles. Some Xbox one titles have been optimized for series X/S for free and those would need to be stored on your internal storage, or this storage card.
As far as "cross gen" titles, some publishers chose not to utilize Xbox's Smart Delivery system and wanted to double dip on consumers. Nacon is one of these examples. They published WRC 10 as an Xbox One title and an Xbox Series title with no compatibility between the two SKUs, and little to no difference in quality. That's not the fault of Xbox that a publisher wants to try and milk the player instead of utilizing the Smart Delivery system. Just buy the correct edition that works for you. 🤷🏻 ♂️
PS5 using m.2 drives was one of the smartest things they could have done. It's a bummer that Microsoft would rather force us to use slower and proprietary storage solutions that can't be competed with.

I get the logic of delay gratification as far as scoring spickdeal however it is completely subjective to shopper. Waiting forever isn't always beneficial especially when there a "need" for it.
YMMV
Edit: disregard the received downvotes. They don't like users with opposing viewpoints.

Just saying, when the pandemic hits an indie company could have jacked his price up on head gear that facilitates breathing for those infected with virus. He chose not to and charged a reasonable fee.
Anyways back to this. Playstation made memory upgrade easy. This shouldn't have been difficult on XSX. Price for 1 TB should not be this $$$. The fact third parties offered a cheap alternative only for Microsoft to brick it with updates proves that they kept the price for this thing up by disallowing options. Evenmade the internal HDD upgrade a pita.
So unless this is under $100, no deal at $125.

not to mention on the PS every single game you have to pay extra to upgrade to ps5 version. No free upgrades for most game like there is on xbox.
The point im trying to make here is that both sides are not great, but your claiming as if xbox is very bad and PS is some saint. Its not, if anything a little worse.

Meanwhile Microsoft has always been oh you want more storage? Suck it, pay up biatch.
I definitely need more storage on my XSX but I'm refusing to pay up
