The soldering is super easy, as it's only a small cable. I'm pretty sure that anyone who is able to open their Steam Deck can also solder that without any problems.
I don't even own a soldering kit, and don't trust myself enough with it (yet). Not everyone can do everything.
I hear you. But, the specific soldering task for this is really simple. You could watch a YouTube video and have this specific task done really fast.
I used to think this until I helped out on a robotics site. Some people are absolutely hopeless at soldering even after tons of practice. It is what it is.
