I think you mean M.2, as NVMe isn't a form factor. As for Apple's form factor, it probably came to be because the Macbook generation with socketed PCIe SSDs predated the M.2 standard. Protocol-wise Apple's socketed SSDs were vanilla AHCI or NVMe devices.
Sony has supports user drive upgrades for both the PS3 and PS4. So I would be surprised if they went out of their way to sabotage it for the PS5 if they do go the socketed route. Though I guess it would be funny if they only supported an array of Memory Stick Duos :-).
