There another reason for soldering RAM, that being that the signal integrity of DIMMs is too low for use with LPDDR. There a reason why Dell spent R&D money on developing CAMM (and why JEDEC was very happy to refine it into the CAMM2 modules that are entering the market now).
Swappable RAM has its own advantages, such as being able to easily switch suppliers if necessary. I can see modular RAM making a comeback in laptops by means of LPDDR CAMMs.
