There are no memory chips to remove on recent Macs, making this attack much harder if not impossible to perform.

Macs still have memory chips, even if they are not removable. This can be attacked by using specialized hardware which you press onto the RAM chips’ connectors. The inability to remove RAM is not meant as a security feature, and therefore gives no significant protection against a motivated attacker with specialized hardware.
