If the engineering is so great then why not engineer devices to be easily serviceable with easy to replace parts ?
It's not worth it. You're adding cost (and ironically probably greater failure points) that will only benefit a fraction of the target customer demographic. It's much cheaper to have a robot solder a chip to a board than it is to have it solder a socket, then have someone fill the socket later on.
