I thought it was going from SPI mode to MMC mode that did this, not the double clocking nor the 1bit to 4bit bus steps.


I knew it wasn't either the double clocking or using all four lanes, I just didn't know what it was called and was too lazy to dig out the SD protocol spec.

But now I pulled up the spec and it's saying that it's UHS cards that support the modes that use the lower voltage and there are seven bus speed modes:

DS (Default Speed)
HS (High Speed)
SDR12
SDR25
SDR50
DDR50
SDR104

DS and HS use 3.3V signaling while the SDR and DDR modes use 1.8V.  Then UHS-II adds a couple more modes.  SPI mode is separate from all of this, something just tossed in there for us hobbyists to play around with.
