Pretty cool either way.
Because as of today, Framework is out of reach for ~90% of the world's population, which makes them irrelevant, at least in my books.
It's natural that entering markets takes time and that some markets may never be entered if the economics aren't good, even if a company would ideally like to.
Okay so even if they don't want to do that, all they need to do is not go out of their way to block parcel forwarders. They can just make us click on an agreement that voids warranty and absolves them of any risk, that way, it's not their problem. But no, they don't do that.
Meanwhile, smaller Linux notebook companies like StarLabs have been around for less than a decade, yet have no issues supping worldwide. In fact no other tech manufacturer has this issue, at least not to this extremes - how is that only Framework is in this situation?
