PinePhone's hardware switch for the modem disables its power. I wonder why the modem on the Librem 5 is a removable module that adds 5mm to the depth. It seems like it could be a single board.

The librum 5 modem can be easily swapped for working unit (if gone faulty) or upgrade.

The swap feature could be a security risk?
