Even Lenovo is doing it with Thinkpads, the t14 gen 6 has soldiered ram and only two USB A ports
Lenovo is only a shadow of its former self. Get used to it; everything gets sacrified for the god Mammon and the sake of slimness.
Even the latest P series:

You can only add/swap a M.2 SSD, and WWAN modem.
They've added upgradable RAM with the Gen 5 models. The WIFI card is soldered, though, which isn't as bad but still meh for longevity IMO
Even worse, build quality and durability is significantly worse due to Lenovo making the T and P series Thinkpads thinner and lighter.
