Oh, and since on the subject. Physically it is quite easy change the network interface on many computers. What often happens though however is that the BIOS has a whitelist containing certain device IDs. This means that the BIOS will restrict usage to one or two different devices. So if you where to buy a state of the art laptop today, and would want to change the wifi when there is a new wifi standard. So hypothetically speaking, what if there is a new WPA3 that requires hardware support. Then you wouldn't be able to change it without rewriting and flashing the BIOS. Something that might be next to impossible if the BIOS is signed.
