I've often wondered why there aren't devices that have all network operations bundled into a removable module; that way you could get both people who want some level of disconnect and those who want a more thorough level of disconnect.

There are attempts at module based electronics. Google had “Project Ara" https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ara

The HMD fusion budget smartphone has a pogo-pin port on the back for peripherals https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/03/hmd_fusion_review/

Not sure why they fail in the marketplace. Maybe look at other similar market failures like power tools with different interchangable heads? I suspect the sticker price of the individual modules scares consumers.

I had one of these[1]. Worst part was that the push-push slot wasn't so secure and modem would crash silently.
