Soldering RAM isn't for compact size or cost or to keep you from upgrading, it's for speed. Soldered RAM can be physically closer with a faster bus than removable RAM.

It's for power efficiency
With old style DIMMs I can understand this excuse, with LPCAMM though, it doesn't fly.
Yes it does. LPCAMM path is still dozens of millimeters. Soldered on is one mm or less.
Yep. Even the framework seems to be moving to soldered on ram.
