As far as the easy SSD upgrade, you are thinking of the Surface Pro tablet, not this Surface Laptop.

Keep in mind this uses an ARM processor, which is different processor architecture (x86) than the Surface 4. Would highly recommend you check with graduate to see if they need to use specialized software that is only compatible with x86.

No he was right, I think you have it reversed. You can easily upgrade the m.2 SSD on Surface Laptop 3 and up.

The Surface Laptop requires pulling the keyboard apart. The Surface Pro tablet has the little door on the back.

Another thing you need to realize is that the Microsoft Surface SSDs use an enclosure that acts as a heatsink. That heat is transferred through the BOTTOM of the SSD into the laptop chassis. So just putting another 2230 SSD without the enclosure will cause overheating and random restarts. The best thing to do is to grab a 128GB OEM Surface SSD off eBay for less than $10 and cannibalize the enclosure for your upgraded drive.

While the newest Surface Pros do have an incredibly easy way to replace the M.2 SSD through the door you mention, you are wrong about the Surface Laptop 7 needing you to do anything with the keyboard at all.
You need to have the correct screwdrivers to take the bottom panel off, but the process is still quite simple and doesn't involve the keyboard. The iFixit guide here is for the 13", but the process is the same: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Micr...ent/174592
