SDXC logo needs exFAT support. So Jolla Tablet won't have SDXC logo.
The stretch goal announced in 27/11/2015 by Jolla cites MicroSDHC, not MicroSDXC :
Goal #1 - $1,500,000: MicroSDHC support up to 128GB
Once we reach the first goal, every Jolla Tablet will be upgraded to support microSDHC cards up to 128GB! You’ll never have to worry about running out of space again. Currently Jolla Tablet supports cards up to 32GB, besides having 32GB internal storage.

You are twisting the facts and the numbers (votes). So about the "[Poll] File System(s) support on SD card for Jolla Tablet" :
- 1st answer with 144 votes for no-exFAT as default (but optional via purchase in Jolla Store), using btrfs for > 32GB and optional luks;
- 2nd answer with 70 votes for no-exFAT, also suggesting f2fs;
- 3rd answer with 58 votes for exFAT/SDXC support;
- 4th answer with 47 votes for luks & encryption;
- 5th answer with 35 votes for no-exFAT;
- 6th answer with 35 votes for no-exFAT by default, but available by purchasing (in Jolla Store, etc);
- 7th answer with 18 votes for no-exFAT, suggesting ext4/2 +luks +lvm.
Conclusion : pro-exFAT as default votes were a clear minority (58 votes), versus 302 votes asking for no-exFAT or exFAT only as optional paid feature (package form Jolla Store, etc).

It is the active community that is visible. You and many here pro-exFAT could vote. In a community, if somebody doesn't vote, other people decides for him/her. So, if you want your wishes be considered, be an active member of the Sailfish OS community, e.g., vote in many important issues in TJC. It is better than posting many comments here, as Jolla listen mainly to TJC topics & votes.
