Framework is just making a laptop that is both repairable and modular. These just happen to be use cases for it. I find business laptops like Thinkpads "repairable enough" and am okay with the upsides and downsides of a fixed selection of ports, so I don't own a Framework. But my friend owns one because they would rather have a limited number of very customizable ports - for example, when they need to charge the Framework while connecting to a TV, they can swap around the USB-C and HDMI ports to the side closer to each. And when they need to dock to a bunch of stuff at their desk, a USB-C dock is a more suitable solution. This obviously isn't for everyone, but it satisfies their niche.
