Apple has always moved fast into stopping using technologies that didn't fit their product vision. If removal of the SD card slot (that one isn't even one of my top 10 feature-removal grievances from Apple and I have music and photography as hobbies so plenty of use for it), headphone jack, etc. is shocking for you then you haven't used Apple for long.
Apple really don't care what you think you need as features (or at least Steve Jobs didn't), they have a vision and they will try to sell you it, not the opposite.
I don't have strong opinions about this, personally I think it's interesting that some companies (such as Apple) want to stick to their philosophy instead of just chasing dollars around by pumping out products designed by committees.
