So we can do what? De solder the individual ram chips and populate them on custom dimms?

It's too late for all of these rack mounted, AI oriented products, those resources are already spent, they're gone for us.
It's like they took the world's supply of high tech computer components and locked them in a room with a sign over the door that says "douchebags only". And even if you got into that room, those components are only compatible with douchebag OS, so even if you completely cleared that room of douchebags, you still have to throw all their useless party favors in the dumpster.
You scoff but this is already being done in China. They desolder good chips from bad cards and add them to a mule card.
