Well that is not going to be the case for the future.
Adding internally, something that less than 20% of all users want/ need is not the way laptops are going, certainly not from Apple.
I am wonderfully happy that I no longer have to carry around a 8 lb laptop on my shoulder, even with the extra cable and connector I still keep my Retina laptop under 5lb total.
did I mention it is blazing fast too?

About 10-20% faster than my i7. Wonderful.

I wouldn’t care so much if a Qio came out with Thunderbolt connectivity, or when the Belkin dock finally arrives. But right now, it’s the best setup you can get, in my opinion, and hopefully more Thunderbolt peripherals will be out when I decide it’s time to upgrade again.

So does the print get even tinier?
