Seems like the problem with targeting a niche market is that the buyers all have some very specific hard requirements.

It has to have a headphone jack, it has to have wireless charging, it has to have cameras as good as the iphone, it has to have an AV1 video decoder, etc.

Same problem with the Framework laptop. Everyone has a different set of obscure hard requirements.

Headphone jacks are hardly obscure hardware
