Well of course not. If phones supported memory expansion you would just buy more memory, instead of buying an entirely new phone
Don’t even get me started on how bloated these apps have become. I used Paperclip word processor on a Commodore-64; you can not convince me that your app needs to be 50+ Megs in size.
And that’s one of the benefits from open source apps. I have a very low end and dated phone, and yet I have more apps installed and hardware functionality than the average person, because I grab everything I can from f-droid. It’s amazing how much smaller and performant everything is.

I actually wrote my own text editor for the C-64

Have you looked at Obtainium? It pulls apps directly from their release page, or f-droid repos.
I see people mentioning obtainium, but never tried it. Will it give some relevant benefits over fdroid for low end devices?
No benefits regarding performance. But you get faster updates and more apps than on f-droid.
You can’t compare (what is arguably) the peak of human computing to modern phones.
…I miss the c64
Edit: fixed pique to peak. Sorry. Autocorrect got me again
