I would suggest you take a look inside your car. You wont find
anything but crimped connectors EVERYWHERE.

High quality connectors applied with the correct tool gives a very
reliable and repeatable connector. Look inside your next B787, you
wont find any soldered connectors there either.

But if you look inside all the things that are connected together by
the crimped pin wiring harnesses you will find all the complex
electronics modules use surface mount soldered components!

The avionics of the 787 or any other modern transport aircraft would
not be possible without thousands, if not millions, of soldered
connections.
