That's wholly incorrect.

Apple moved the controller to the SoC. The drives aren't NVMe drives, they're raw NAND carrier boards...

If that was the case,

Then the NVMe adapters that convert standard m.2 NVMe drives to the Apple SSD pinout wouldn't work. Things like this:

1000003090

But they do, because the apple silicone is expecting to talk to an NVMe controller in the SSD with the same communications protocols.

Unless you've got some technical documentation to back that up?

Bruh... 2016-17. That's NOT Apple Silicon 🤦‍♂️

But it are still proprietary connectors that serve no purpose.
