It's ALSO too slow. It's like using it as virtual memory. It's roughly comparable to the speed of a hard drive, which is the very reason we still have RAM and don't just access everything from the hard drive. ROM is absurdly slower than RAM, and our phones would be painful to use if we tried to use ROM as virtual memory. But yes, it ALSO has a limited number of writes.
