Maybe the individual won't be able to solder it, but you could still get the chip and go to the bloke down the road who will solder it for xx. Still way cheaper than whole assembly.

Now maybe BGA chips can indeed pose a difficulty, replacing a tiny QFN chip is really a minute job and it's very simple.
