My opinion:
Framework has a good track record and I would give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. (Concerning upgradeability)
laptops are getting more and more powerful and I like the idea of treating them similar to a desktop
as a ThinkPad user you probably know how popular especially old ThinkPads are, because of the ability to mod them
you might buy a new laptop every few years but the point above proves that there will be people interested in a second hand laptop, therefore reducing waste
there will always be a market for good quality and customer friendly products and the existence of framework is great for competition (for the end user)
they support the open source mentality, even tried to help to bring coreboot to their laptops. Even though that failed they're keeping an eye on openSIL
overall I'm more of Linux instead of Windows, FOSS instead of corporate closed software, Lemmy instead of reddit and framework/system76/.. instead of Lenovo/.. kind of person. I see it partly as a fight for "freedom" if you so will.
