Regarding Apple Silicon, they claim that their soldered LPDDR5-6400 RAM can provide 100Gb/s of bandwith (per one chip?), which is amazing, but it seems that the CPU cannot fully utilize this bandwith.
For comparison, a cheap removable DDR4 module at 3200MT/s can provide theoretical bandwith around 25 Gb/s and two of them can provide 50 Gb/s which is also very fast (for me) and good enough for many tasks. More expensive DDR5 modules can provide up to 50 Gb/s bandwidth per module, and four of them give you 200 Gb/s of theoretical throughput.
So I don't see problems with using removable DDR5 modules. They are good enough, and being able to expand RAM cheaply is more important, than getting 2x bandwidth, that you cannot utilize, at a premium price.
