Oddly, these hard to repair things in apples case are actually cheaper because of it, and probably in many cases makes them more durable due to less failure points.
The problems only come up if/when something does fail.
Having to replace a whole board instead of just the ram isn’t cheaper, but that board per unit is cheaper.
