Then the whole device should be replaced, that's the price they pay for their design decisions. Being "too hard" doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to consumers.

Alternatively, even if the boards + CPU are tightly integrated, if used a particular standard like EOMA-68, then they could be easily replaced with rest of desktop/laptop/phone not being affected.
Good luck with that. A large portion of affected CPUs/SoCs are in mobile devices and ultrabooks. Socketed chips simply won't fly in those kinds of devices.
