Yeah, building a Zen4 system will be very expensive, and this could be a clear advantage for Rocket Lake if it still supports DDR4 (I've seen some rumors saying that Intel asked its board partners to not enable DDR4 support for those chips even in current s1700 boards).

Also, and from the same source as that bit of info, Tom's Hardware, there's that rumor that the X670 chipset will actually be two chiplets! Weird.

Apparently, Intel already confirmed that Rocket lake still supports DDR4. But I expect the number of boards to support DDR4 to be more rare than with Alder Lake

It wouldn't surprise me if that's the case. Having DDR4 and DDR5 boards is a lot more work for them and they would gladly scrap some of them. It wouldn't surprise me if the Z790 boards are all DDR5 only, while leaving DDR4 for the B760 and lower boards.
