Yeah, and solder it onto the board while you're at it! Who ever needs to upgrade or perform maintenance anyways?
They do make the most of it though. Soldered RAM can be much faster than socketed RAM, which is why GPUs do it too.
Why is that?
Shorter physical distance means less latency and lower power. Some memory types like LPDDR4X are built with assumptions that only apply to soldered RAM.
