Do you think you'll ever have more than a 4KiB of text data in the env ? I can see a reason for some 16 KiB environment, but that's the ceiling. Usually, the env only has to be a few KiB and it's size has to be multiple of the underlying device's erase block. But in case of SD card, there are no explicit erase blocks exported to the user, all is hidden by the controller in the SD card and gives an illusion of a device which has 512b blocks and the user doesn't care for bad block management. Since the controller in the card does the bad block management and wear leveling/relocation of blocks, it also means that in case the controller did fail to provide the block which contains env, the whole card would already be in a very bad state.
