Those need m.2 B key slots which are not compatible with m.2 M key NVMe disks. This is why I'm not crazy about the m.2 "standard".

To be fair the same thing can be said about its predecessor the miniPCIe slot.

True but that was only really for the msata version. m.2 has about half a dozen keys as of now. Like USB-C it tries to cram too many mutually incompatible electrical interfaces into one plug.
