Also, physical space needed to put the port in. My earlier point wasn't power draw but rather less room in the case for battery. To exaggerate the point, remember when they showed how much more battery they can put in a laptop by removing the physical casings to allow one to be removed? They added battery capacity by removing the ability to change out the battery on the fly. If you look at the layout of the components in these current laptops it is clear they want less physical devices taking up battery space.

Even is the new MBP doesn't have RAM in the SOC, it will still be embedded/soldered on to the board. This will likely be the same board used in the high end iMac going off of the current M1 lineup. It won't be much different I imagine.
