It isn't nearly as easy since the key never leaves the inside of the CPU. The key never goes to main memory or is exposed outside of the part used to encrypt/decrypt memory inside the CPU. Attacking a specific register instead the 'secure' enclave of a CPU is much harder than attacks like the OP where your rip out the RAM.

This type of system has been used pretty successfully for nearly a decade on the AMD SOCs used in the XBOX consoles.
