It would actually increase production costs considerably. It's MUCH cheaper to solder the SOC to a custom main board.I would say that a CM5 16GB with a 500 or 1000 GB nvme ram, put inside a keyboard case would be perfect. and i do not think would cost more, even less device to put in production.
We've been making SBCs etc for 12 years now, we HAVE to be very good at squeezing cost out of production. If a board is designed a specific way that seems odd, there is always a reason for it, usually cost. If you think there is a cheaper way of doing something, you are probably wrong.
