I don't doubt they would be able to do so. I think the choice of doing so, maintaining esthetics, and making it such that a layman can do it while not making tradeoffs they don't want to probably play into it.

Yes, it's difficult to maintain the 'giant pile of scrooge mcduck gold' aesthetic in the apple corporate vaults if users aren't railroaded into buying a new phone every few years.
