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.

Non-standard is the new standard, didn't you know?  :P

 Sadly, probably more common than you'd think.

Fair enough, it does feel like there are more IOT things with a
propriatary ecosystem tho.
