Why LPCAMM and not SOCAMM2? What is the status of SOCAMM for laptops and would it be possible to do a SOCAMM for NVMe?

Socamm is all about data centre capacity. It starts at 128GB and you can only order it in bulk(?) from data centre providers.
On the other hand I can go to a local store and buy a stick of 32GB lpcamm2.
There's no reason they couldn't use smaller capacity modules. SOCAMM has better area efficiency and z height, both highly relevant for thin and light laptops.
There's a big reason they shouldn't do that though: Laptops have already standardized enough on LPCAMM2 for the modules to be widely available.
