I think they mean the packaging. Micro SD cards usually come in a package that's 10x the volume of the card, itself.
Though, I'm not sure there's a decent way around that one. It's really difficult to ship and stock incredibly small products like that.
Same goes for Nintendo switch games, come in a case almost dvd box size for something the size not much different to a standard SD card
The worst is the Nintendo Switch games that don't come with a physical game. There are games sold in boxes that just contain a code to download the game. Total waste of packaging.
Ah. Not seen them! Yes, pointless.
