How does ifixit justify a 7 out of 10 score?
Is the Framework laptop on that same scale?
Cause the only difference to repair-ability from the last model seems like the removable SSD, which is proprietary and the make it very difficult to replicate because all the firmware related functions are on the removable SSD.
By "replicate" do you mean creating a compatible third-party replacement hardware module, or copying all the data onto a different card?
Cloning an SSD's data is something we should stop expecting to be straightforward in a world with self-encrypting drives. Restoring from backup is the right approach.
If it's not compatible with just any SSD (of the right form factor) it's only a small step. Still surprised to see it, but they really have a long way to go.

CMOS battery is also very easily replaceable.

Some people are already selling compatible SSD modules: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/polysoftservices/studio...
Hopefully the French law would protect them from a lawsuit
To be clear, these aren't compatible with the M4 Mac Mini, though compatible modules for those are expected to come out shortly.
Is this confirmed? What‘s the difference?

My guess is the soldered memory was costing them a lot of money in repair times.
