But isn’t that the whole idea of Framework? If you didn’t care about this stuff you’d buy a MacBook like everyone else.

No, not at all. The whole idea is modularity, upgradabilty and access. Most technies people know how to swap out an nvme or ram, basically any ifixit level repair. Board level repairs is a whole other ballpark and the need is reduced greatly due to a modular design.

People like that desktops are modular, you can easily replace a single part when it breaks or upgrade a part too. Framework is the equivalent for laptops.
