That would not make sense IMO. The eMMC is soldered with ball grid array and would be quite involved and costly to swap it. MicroSD cards cost almost nothing and you can adjust your mount points to transfer data (such as personal files, applications etc.) to it.
The main reason is speed. SD cards are noticeably slower on OG PP (even with faster cards). than eMMC. With vccq mod eMMC speeds can be around 125MB/s, but SD card achieves approximately 23 MB/s. This is five times slower.
