Is that really a problem though as SATA isn't going away anytime soon so it's difficult to see that NVMe becoming more and more common means that you can't for example upgrade your storage unless the NVMe is part of the MB - do they do that as it sounds exactly like the type of thing Apple would do.
Soddering the memory directly to the board isn't new, and I wouldn't put it past manufactuers for storage on a stick, like you mentioned apple's been doing that on iphones for some time.
I've not seen it done laptops and NVMe yet, but multiple manufacturers over-tightens the screws so severely you basically can't remove it, as any attempt strips the screw, and requires so much force that you're bending the PCB visibly which really isn't good for the laptop. To get them out I've had to resort to using pliers on the screw head (I've tried all the other hacks like rubber bands, etc.) which crushes the screw. I've had trouble getting the right screws to put them back in with as well, all I can think is they used some non standard screw.
HP is also supplying very off brand NVMe storage that is causing bluescreens, so we've been having to replace them.
