I'm kinda amazed soldering is still such a thing. Tech is already pretty reliable in my experience (At least the cheap stuff that isn't as high power and doesn't thermal cycle as much I guess), but getting rid of solder as a failure mode and making chips swappable would be so cool. If they could somehow make production grade Z axis tape we could just tape the parts on with a 3d printed frame for position, and anyone could do component level repair without much skill. And all the chips from dead devices could be reusable, if there was a way to automatically sort them all.
