Having been in the US military as a 'radio mechanic' (Signal Support System Specialist) and been trained to solder I can tell you that it is 100% due to solder training being literally 2 hours long during my 6 month AIT and crimping being much more idiot proof than any issue with soldering itself. Also, generally, if something needed to be soldered as a repair we would just throw it out and get a replacement. We didn't even keep soldering equipment on hand.
