No unfortunately this isn't a user-replaceable part in most modern MacBooks.

> In the end it's a "Pro" machine no ?

Not sure what that has to do with it? Most professionals don't want to be changing their RAM.

I think it's just that most professionals have given up expecting to be able to change their RAM.

Most professionals aren't using Apple in the first place. The world runs on Windows desktop PCs, and business-oriented models from major vendors like HP are really easy to work on: can replace RAM, HDD or power supply in a minute or two and without any tools. Instruction manuals are simple, clear and well illustrated. if you can tie shoelaces, you can replace RAM.

Depends on the field and location.

I work in an ad agency with 200 people. Every single professional has a Mac. Basically creative fields prefer macs.

Nah.

Unscrewing a cover and popping up some ram is not a “professional” task. It’s something anyone with passing familiarity could achieve.

Shove your ram in some obscure place so the owner can’t access it, now you need a professional if simply to offset the risk something goes wrong while you’re fiddling.

User serviceable parts are just not an Apple priority.

This is not a technique for replacing RAM on Apple’s current computers.
