> RAM slot would screw up the memory timings

Existing ones possibly but why not build something that lets you snap-in a BGA package just like we snap in CPUs on full sized PC mainboards?




The longer traces are the problem. They want these modules as physically close as possible to the CPU to make the timings work out and maintain signal integrity.

It's the same reason nobody sells GPUs that have user upgradable non-soldered GDDR VRAM modules.
