For anyone who isn't aware, 2280 and 2230 aren't read/write speeds, they're M.2 form factors. The 22 in both means that they're 22 mm wide, and the 30/80 indicates how long they are.
The 2280 in the ROG Ally X is an improvement IMO because you can get more capacity for a lower price if you replace the SSD, but there's nothing about the form factor that automatically makes it faster.

Shrinking technology has always been expensive, it's nothing new.
It's harder to make something smaller that does the same thing, and therefore it costs more to make. Shocking.
