Samsung's recent 1 TB UFS storage is smaller than microSD, and uses 512 Gb NAND dies. So not only could a 1 TB microSD card be produced today, a 2 TB microSD card could be made with 1 Tb NAND.
The volume of a full SD card is about 9.8 times that of a microSD. Assuming the usable amount of storage volume is only 4 times larger, that means an 8 terabyte SDUC card could be made today. Use 1.33 Tb NAND instead of 1 Tb, and you could get a 10 terabyte SDUC.
So when you look at the two or so 1 TB SD cards on the market, just know that there is not much stopping them from putting out a 10 TB version. And we'll probably see 1.5 Tb and 2 Tb NAND dies in the near future.
Busty blonde riding a centaur? That requires much more R&D.
Products get teased but often get delayed to market. We saw that with the 1 TB SD cards.
The largest capacity microSD you can get right now is 512 GB. I'm saying a company could put out a 2 TB microSD card today. Probably 4 TB microSD (microSDUC, which allows capacities from 4 TB to 128 TB) within the next 2 years.
So, assuming that you are right, a micro sdxc card of say, 768gb, could be released by some memory card manufacturer, in the near future, as a stopgap product, until the actual 1tb micro sdxc cards are ready, and SOME of the 512gb micro sdxc cards have been heavily discounted lately, almost like a clearance sell to make way for newer, higher capacity products.

768 GB is not a "sexy" capacity point, so they'll probably just skip it.namechamps - Friday, February 8, 2019 - link
They did 400 GB as a stopgap until 512 GB was available.rouregre - Sunday, February 10, 2019 - link
