I understand that, however I've never seen a dev board with something that ugly. E.g. all the 96Boards boards released aren't that ugly. The Raspberry Pi prototypes weren't that ugly, no BeagleBone board is that ugly, nothing produced by _any_ of the Allwinner dev board producers (Olimex, Cubie, etc.) is that ugly, no board I've seen on CNX software is that ugly, etc. I've hacked together microSD card sockets for Arduinos that weren't that ugly. It just sticks out (both literally and metaphorically) and makes me question why. Particularly when there's enough PCB space for it a couple of cm away from where it ended up. Furthermore, I know, from experience, that kernel development involves a lot of moving stuff around and rebooting and unplugging and re-plugging of mass storage. I'm not convinced it'd be strong enough to survive that.
