Looking at the form factor, it seems to mostly address typical desktop use without having a full blown workstation with a big tower, which one usually builds and upgrades by oneself.

I'm also not sure, if this niche is the right choice for Framework though...

Edit: the more read about it, the less I see the appeal as well...
Maybe we just aren't the target audience, but I can't really figure out, who they want to target

Yep. Just read the thing. The RAM is soldered. THE RAM IS SOLDERED (the CPU seems to be as well but I'm not sure).

I don't think there is a target audience. Seems like someone in the boardroom took a big hit of a giant blunt and went "what if took, like, the laptop design philosophy and, like, apply it to a desktop, but like, modular duuuuuude?"
