I just wish they could provide additional options:
1) have ram soldered but provide also extra 1 slot for LPCAMM/LPDIMM ram. Soldered RAM would be used for GPU but external slower ram still could be used for non GPU related stuff (software) that doesn't require high bandwidth/latency.
2) I think motherboard will have 4 pads for ram and if you buy less 1-3 pads will be just having pins without chip. If they would sell memory chips and provide some tooling/documentations for specialised/certified shop they could solder those. You could still upgrade just not by yourself.
