I’ll have you try another experiment.
Add 64gb of ram and a 4tb HDD.
Then compare it with Apple or Lenovo or Sony with that storage, a similar processor, the same screen size, and a metal chassis.
Everyone else will charge you huge markups in the SSD and RAM. The markup from framework isn’t nearly as large, and you can it to buy on your own (with no markup).
The base config is the worse case scenario.
And again, it’s not about the money anyway. If apple sold a $700 m2 MacBook pro and I would pay them the extra $500 to make it repairable and upgradable, I would - but I can’t.
