Does anybody -for any other (including guitar wiring) application make a stand alone two piece (M/F) quick connector similar to what EMG’s uses???

I swap out pickups way to often on several of my guitars and it’s a pain in the ass breaking out the soldering iron every single time.
 
Seymour Duncan used to make a thing called the "Liberator," not sure if they still do but it basically had one of those things like you'd have on a sprinkler system where you use a tiny screw driver to hold the bare metal of a stripped wire in place. A few turns of a screwdriver and the wire comes right out.

If you're handy, you could also buy one yourself and wire it in place, so that one side is fixed to your controls (vol, tone, switch) and the other has the space for your pickups. Even easier if you don't use coil tapping etc. I've thought about doing this myself on a "test bed" guitar, but ultimately I just leave the electronics cover off and use a couple of alligator clips lol.
Anyway the part you are looking for is called a "terminal block" if you want to do it this way.

I'm sure there's other smart solutions but this seemed cheapest/easiest for me, playing at home or studio. Not sure I'd trust it to gig or ship or fly with, at least without checking to make sure the vibrations didn't loosen one of the wires or something over time.
