That's a sentiment that's been repeated a lot, and it's not fully true.
One important property that soldered-on RAM has is increased security. There's been a demonstrably practical way to break full-disk encryption with physical access to a turned on or sleeping computer by re-attaching the memory quickly to another computer. The keys then can be read from the memory.
That's not a vector you have anymore if the memory is not removable.
I think they hope that this way they will not be blocked and thus the existing customers can keep connecting indefinitely.
I'm not sure what to make of it but it does seem like a somewhat of a telltale for what's going to happen with my videos should I upload them to one of the PeerTube hosts.
