Can we go back to the good old days where our devices had openings for RAM and storage upgrades please?

Especially for things like this.

I'd love a standardized tiny socket like the MMC modules or something alike. A DIMM socket would be far too large.

Even though upgrading RAM in a steam deck wouldn't be that useful it increases the ability to repair it.

Yeah, we'd need some sort of modular RAM size that's small. No idea why we have 2TB of lightning fast storage and it's the size of a postage stamp, but the RAM sticks are still more or less the same clunky sizes we had 30 years ago.

I guess its because SSD storage wasn't an option back then and the interface is newer. But since soldered RAM is more of a rilule these days we do need something new.
