Didn’t you just describe the literal difference between consumer grade RAM that is soldered to a consumer format board vs a memory chip sold to a company to be soldered onto a product of the other company?

Calling it "consumer-grade RAM" is inaccurate - RAM is RAM. When you solder it to a board, you now have a DIMM that is carrying RAM chips. It's a semantic difference, but it's important.
