The amount of performance you lose is negligible compared to the amount of performance you lose in 5 years when the laptop's processor is out of date and there's barely enough ram to run a semi-heavy task.
MacBooks have an SoC, so it doesn’t make sense for the ram to be upgradable.
An SOC is a bad idea for laptops in my opinion, it just makes it harder to repair and less modular. I understand that it helps to compact the device, but it should only be used in phones if at all.
I disagree. SoCs allow for lower power consumption and a larger battery. They definitely have disadvantages but I don’t see ARM computers ever using anything but SoCs.
And it probably won't be able to be upgraded by the user, which should be the bare minimum.

probablyabsolutely guaran-fucking-teed won't be able to be upgraded by the user, which should be the bare minimum.You loose performance by making RAM upgradeable, hope the new RAM design, where you can install ram as if it was soldered in, is coming soon:

You lose performance if you can't upgrade.
