Good point. Though, I doubt the read/write device respects the switch in it's hardware. Ie. malware in the read/write device could disable said devices respect of the SD switch.

Yes, malware might be able to hack into the firmware of the SD card reader, but that is unlikely because of the vendor diversity and too much work for those with bad intentions.

Indeed. I do still dislike the approach of a hardware SD card switch which doesn't actually stop write from the hardware level.
