The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used

You know, I can't think of a concrete example of that, when pressed, so it is possible this was just something repeated to me by coworkers and friends doing Apple apologia, and I just treated it as a truth. A quick Google doesn't appear to show Apple or any other corporation saying it, so I'll take the L on it.

I think my overall point still stands. I still find it irritating that, until very recently, the only way to get a nice, slim laptop was to accept that everything is hard-wired in. Framework proved that that's not correct.

Your experience matches my own. I haven't heard it from a company but there are definitely Apple zealots/shills who would say that in threads about right to repair.

Yeah, sort of this strange Mandela effect thing I guess; I have a distinct memory of reading an official statement with Apple or Samsung claiming that that was the reason, but that statement does not appear to exist, and it seems like the most likely reason is because my brain just incorrectly extrapolated that memory from stuff non-Apple-non-Samsung folks were saying.

FWIW, I also remember this claim being made, but yes, it may have just been Apple apologists in comments, or perhaps Apple wrt the iPhone battery, ages ago.

You don't need a direct quote proving it. They just do it.
