Most memory troubleshooting guides start with reseating the modules which means it’s not the memory that’s bad but the connector. Getting rid of the connector could mean it’s even more reliable. There’s no point in making stuff interchangeable if it almost never breaks. We don’t have the L2 cache on a module anymore like with the old pentiums. And nobody seems to have a problem with throwing away good memory chips when just one on a DIMM module fails…
