Does it need to do? We are dealing with digital data at the end of the day.

Well I haven't responded specifically for that use case. The subjects
of the discussions are just intermixed and it doesn't follow the
subject anymore. At least I see it that way.

See it :

Easy way to use contemporary machine as fileserver for C64 :

Back to the point, it's fairly trivial to support serial interface (or
an sd card) on Tapecart. One needs to change the microcontroller to a
more capable one and change the software a bit. (This comment is not
for the discussion of "Easy way to use contemporary machine as
fileserver for C64".. for the hardware tinkerer it's still is but it
isn't for someone who wants an existing solution )

The reason for the simplicity of the hardware (Tapecart) is possibly
because it's considered to be a game distribution platform I think.
Cost reduction that is.
