Still not user replaceable. Should be mandated as a separate board. It’s such an elementary thing to need to replace, USB-C ports that are plugged and unplugged on a daily basis need to be replaced eventually and there’s literally nothing stopping manufacturers from putting it on a separate board on a laptop if they can do it on phones.
That’s expensive to replace. Which is why the single most important plug on the device should be separately replaceable by a user with a screwdriver kit. Even apple used to do it that way for Magsafe, but unfortunately not for some usb c laptops.
fortunately lots of laptop repair shops have this

And what about the thing that the user replaceable part is plugged into?

The motherboard?
