And by the way, for the repairability folks: replaceable RAM on mobile devices is going away for good reason. Two SODIMMs is 128 bits of multi-GHz bus across multiple cm of board and a connector. That *eats* power. This isn't manufacturers being out to screw us, it's physics.

But the immediately obvious answer here is that the M1 has two memory chips off to one side, and there's a whole other 3 sides they could put memory chips on :-)

The floor plan has to be ready for that. The physical distance is not trivial so I doubt they would do that. You want the cache in between memory controller and the core, ideally.
