I read this recently, made me chuckle:
"Man, I wish Apple ram upgrades were priced like the rest of industry"

I didn't even think about that, all the reviewers were in a fury about soldered RAM... and now almost everyone is soldered. It's a shame.
What I really hate is you don't even get the main benefit - high bandwidth and low latency. They are just soldering lpddr5x RAM which doesn't really need to be.
Fairly long history of Apple doing something anti-consumer and then all other manufactures following their lead. Same with non-replacable batteries, no headphone jack, have to pay extra for a charger, etc.
