The MacBook Neo has modular ports. The rest of them don't. They may introduce them more widely in the next redesign but that remains to be seen.

The piece I linked, along with the parts for sale in the iFixIt shop seem to contradict your assertion. The piece says:

"The Neo has the same modular bits and bobs we’ve applauded in recent MacBook designs. The USB-C ports are modular, so a damaged charge port doesn’t turn into logic board work."

good that they improving but I have one 2019 macbook died because of that issue, probably my M1 also could die because of that.

The M1s have the modular ports, if iFixIt is to be believed:

I've only changed a battery on that model, not the ports, so I haven't verified, but those steps are detailed enough and consistent enough with what I observed, that I believe them.
