> Soldered CPU

Is there a single laptop on the market that's different in that sense? Even Framework only supports swapping entire mainboard. Even then -- we have yet to see for how long they'll be releasing updates for the current form factor.

Do modern laptop CPUs even have specified sockets anymore?

Not in the hot-swappable way but yeah, they kinda do: e.g. latest AMD CPUs use sockets called FP7 / FP7r2 / FP8. However, I don't think footprints of these sockets are public.
