My problem is I still haven't quite figured out how to childproof my
small electronics. 3-yo's are just into everything, &, although it's
improved from when she was 2, stuff still tends to go, at least
semiroutinely, into her mouth, which presents a choking hazard. & of
course when you're blind, you don't always know when that's happening.
For me, it's really scary.

I have a few very small USB thumb drives, and although I appreciate the way
they barely protrude from the side of a computer, I fear losing them.
I have so many little electronics around that it is easy for something to
get slid off a table without my noticing it.
My stuff is an organized mess.

Also, to be clear, my dislike of microSD predates me going blind and
I've always held that they're fine for applications where they're
installed and then never have to be touched unless they need to be
replaced or you want to increase your storage space, but that they're
too small to serve as a practical means of moving data between devices
and my experience is that lots of devices that use microSD for
removable storage lack a USB mass storage mode for easily moving files
between the SD card and a Desktop.
Then again, I have big hands and in general have a dislike of design
decisions I perceive as sacrificing ergonomics or practicality in the
name of miniaturization... Fortunately, the Raspberry Pi, excluding
the Pi 0 line strikes a pretty decent balance between small enough to
fit in one's pocket and big enough to include all of the most
important ports... and while the Pi 0 is too minimalist for my liking,
I give it a pass because minimalism is the point of the 0 and at least
the Raspberry Pi foundation offers the full-featured version instead
of assuming everyone will be happy with the stripped down one.
