Yeah, people can and will do it. There’s a bunch of places that’ll do ship in ram upgrades on the soldered macs.
I don’t think the average enthusiast will learn to use a thousand dollar microsoldering bench, but they weren’t using normal soldering equipment either or even really upgrading their pcs to start with, so it’s no big loss.
Expect bga and other hot air microsoldering repair work to become more common as stuff gets smaller and more soldered on. It’s already common for phones.
