woudn't grid of electromagnets work for this? spring loaded pin that gets retracted by the magnet?

Commercially available electromagnets are too bulky, require too much power and are designed with generally physically unworkable assumptions around electrical interface types with respect to cost-effective manufacturing. In short the principle is sound, but the products are unworkable. Therefore, the coils must be integrated on-PCB to be cost effective.
