Sure, if you want your device to be half an inch thicker, and more expensive.

    The chips themselves are the most expensive parts usually, much more than a socket and additional daughterboard. And if they were all modular you can reuse those chips for other devices!

    Also, even back in the chunky early 2000s IBM Thinkpad days I never really minded the size or weight, that's just my own opinion though.
