Most new motherboards do already have the highest throughput M.2 connector very near the CPU.

The most recent desktop I built has it situated directly below the standard formfactor x16 PCI slot.


I think part of the reason why it's so close is also for signal integrity reasons.

Far more so than latency.

Also: routing PCIe lanes is a pain. Being able to take 4 pairs and terminate them makes routing everything else simple
