Why doesn't make sense to carry a copy? Its value can be updated whenever it's changed.
If someone want to set "write protect", then it has to follow sequence.
read ext_csd -> check value -> send_switch command 
Then it's possible to keep its value..

And some values are one-time programmable. it's not efficient about sending command to read again.
