SD cards are easier to make, harder to lose, easier to use, and more versatile - with an adapter and a microSD, you can shove it in if you so desire.
microSD connector is used in case of lack of space in the device. In the same professional cameras, the SD connector will remain - high-quality high-speed cards for shooting RAW come in SD format. You can put a more powerful controller there, and standard NAND chips with a TSOP48 package

In addition to the explanations given by 15432 , there is one more thing - on SD (unlike microSD) there is an engine that includes write protection. For some users, this is important. For example, USB flash drives with such protection have almost ceased to be produced, but they can be easily replaced with a USB card reader with an SD plugged into it.
