I can’t speak to the PS1, but the PS2 does have some unique exceptions to what you’re saying.

What does different memory cards for different purposes have to do with them saying memory cards (as shown in the picture) is only for save states?

I do think they are confusing bringing RAM into play, but in the context of the meme they are right to say that internal storage and memory card storage isn't used for the same purpose (installed games vs game saves)

A few points:

It's save data, not "save states". That's an emulator feature.
They're basically correct that you're only using memory cards for save data because the game itself is on a disc (point of pedantry: it's a "disc", not a "disk" unless you were using a HDD like they referred to). I was just pointing out a neat little fact that there were very rare cases when it wasn't actually just used for save data storage.

They're correct they aren't used for the same purpose. IIRC, a PS1 game would've been more akin to at most around 2 GiB for the ones that featured four discs.

You're entitled to your points but the pedantry is really unnecessary

They tried and failed to be a pedant about "memory" (you can't tell me everyone didn't know what the OP meant even if they hadn't been correct); I don't see why an attempt at keeping things factual is "really unnecessary". The meme itself is stupid as hell and has no nuance, but tbh that's par for the course for tech memes.
