It's not untested or impossible, but clearly they didn't do it, so there must be a reason.

I'm saying that I think the reason is because it doesn't make sense to do it, for all the reasons listed above.

And yes RAM is currently the issue, but I imagine they don't want to make massive changes to their production plans just to accommodate the AI bubble that may or may not pop soon. The same way RAM manufacturers aren't making massive changes to their plans to ramp up production, because who knows what the market will look like.

    At the moment, RAM is projected to be a PITA through at least 2028. If you're able to produce a chopped down SKU to alleviate that it's likely worth it, especially if they have issues with filling orders in a reasonable time frame
