CAMM2 has definite advantages over normal sticks.
HOWEVER, it all comes down to adoption, adoption, adoption. Until several board makers are making boards with CAMM2 support and manufacturers are making CAMM2 format memory - it'll struggle to gain any adoption. If we're lucky it'll become popular in the enthusiast space with some very high-end boards, and gradually work its way down to mainstream.
Or maybe backwards, through things like laptops - where maybe the packaging benefits are higher.

In terms of real estate, the motherboard is dominated by socamm2: look at the photo on link #2. https://www.techpowerup.com/341002/nvidia-moves-to-socamm2-phases-out-initial-socamm-design https://www.techpowerup.com/341002/nvidia-moves-to-socamm2-p... https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/vera-cpu/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/vera-cpu/ (Interestingly those links are getting a little long (because there's so many socamm2 modules). I wonder if socamm3 will be not dual channel but quad channel, to shorten the link lengths.) The future is already here, we plebes just don't have access to the post-PC market that has formed anymore.
