No, read carefully "Indiegogo Jolla Tablet - world's first crowdsourced tablet" site :
Yes! You spoke and we listened!...Regarding the 1st stretch goal (memory card support up to 128GB), we’ve decided to move forward with an open source memory card solution. This enables you to use memory cards up to 128GB on your Jolla Tablet for back-ups and additional storage, but due to Microsoft’s licensing limitations, cards over 32GB will not be directly compatible with Windows computers. We feel that this suits best to our community's wishes and Jolla's values.

You say that the up to 128GB memory cards are not supported for Windows computers. Why is that?

We've decided to move forward with an open source memory card solution. This enables you to use memory cards up to 128GB on your Jolla Tablet for back-ups and additional storage, but due to Microsoft’s licensing limitations, cards over 32GB will not be directly compatible with Windows computers. We apologize if you were expecting full Microsoft support here, but we feel that this suits best to our community's wishes and Jolla's values.
So Jolla officially support 128GB cards, but not in Micro$oft format (exFAT) due to licensing issues which the Sailfish community asked to remove.

And if you want exFAT support, just install it from the source code :

Maybe exFat support will be packaged and available in OpenRepos.net.

That's what we had in the very beginning, that's what I have today on my Jolla phone. It's part of Sailfish OS right now, no need to licence or develop anything for it.
Jolla smartphone doesn't officialy support microSD > 32GB.
Sailfish OS in Jolla smartphone doesn't have an easy (GUI in Settings, etc) to format a microSD HC/XC card, as you need to use developer mode, Terminal and CLI commands.
You know that. So stop saying microSD support in Jolla Tablet is the same of Jolla smartphone. Sailfish 2.0 <> 1.1.
