Something in that environment is probably conformally coated, meaning in order to desolder any components you have to burn through the conformal coating.
When you burn through the conformal coating, you usually need enough heat that it damages the board and causes the foil to delaminate. Not to mention the possible thermal damage to any components nearby.
