Given how larger non-mobile chips are jumping to the LPDDR standard what is the point of having a separate DDR standard? Is there something about LPDDR5 that makes upgradable dimms not possible?

AFAIK the higher speed of LPDDR is directly because it avoids signal degradation caused by DIMM connectors.

It's theoretically possible, but there's no standard for it.
