It is unique that the only internal cable is the ribbon cable from the main board to the front panel board. All other circuit paths are achieved via pins and sockets. This not only makes for efficient, foolproof, and quick assembly, it also provides ultimate simplicity for upgrades.
I agree, it's very cool how they thought that out. Their intention right from the beginning was to make as much functionality upgrade-able as possible. They really want owners to be able to maximize their initial investment, rather than having to get on the merry go-round of having to constantly buy gear to obtain the latest functionality.
