The simpler route would be to have an OEM that didn't install crap ware, rather than having to order a basket of parts and assemble them.

I went the basket route because it required less research for me, because I just wanted to get to my end result as quickly as possible.

Grander goals about establishing ecosystems that serve other eventual end goals is not the way that most money is spent. (Though I do spend my money that way in other areas, such as with climate action, the PC market does not matter that much to me.)

You have just cited two more excellent reasons for modular laptops and commodity components; component selection and the environment. That brings the total to three, including the "OEM crap ware"

You're a potential customer of this product, your cognitive dissonance on the matter notwithstanding.
