Apple HW can still be hacked

As you may remember the introduction of Apple’s M1 CPU’s there was a lot of discussion on the inclusion of the T2 chip and its impacts on upgrades and 3rd party HW. As highlighted in the article on Tom’s hardware, with some effort the RAM and HD’s in the apple Mac Mini with M1 you can (with nerves of steel) desolder both and replace them without issues.
I wonder how long before Apple blocks this?
