Yes. But looking at the reasoning it makes sense
When you look at the size of that unit, server boards in general, what is really added over a standard single socket boards?
The two things that push a motherboard over peripheral, beyond the obvious of a socket or soldered cpu, are internal connectors and the I/O chipset.
This has no internal connectors so; We’ll let the extra, less valuable, ram ports make up for the missing BUS ports.
Looking for the I/O system, this may have 4 sockets but only one I/O set. It’s the rectangle set-off in the middle.

If you were to cut this board into clean even quarters you’d have four peripheral boards as none would have all the requirements for motherboard.
A/V rack control computers, terminal hosts, and cube servers, and some blade base boards, are about the only places modern-ish motherboards make the telco grade as they duplicate everything, on much more expensive heavy sandwich boards with a thick layer of copper or silver running the centre layer of the entire board.
Hope that clarifies the reasoning

Great write-up Lost. One other question, but I doubt it will change anything. What if the the metal brackets were removed. I know there is the same amount of "Good Stuff", but does less "Bad Stuff" figure in at all?

There’s not enough IC nor precious metals in general for this to move any higher.

Thanks for the info. Starting a new post now. I've got a 55 gallon drum of e-soup to sort.
