It's not difficult to upgrade ram and storage on M1. The problem is limited availability of memory chips. But if you have pre-balled chips and hot air station (even the cheap ones would do) it's fairly quick to swap them out. Even if you have used chips re-balling with right stencils is relatively easy. I think legislators should compel Apple to make chips available to general public so these upgrades can become mainstream. If general public is not comfortable doing that themselves, I am sure any repair shop would be more than happy to do such an upgrade for the customer.
