Price point is bad...
Price point is fine for a "new" laptop.
Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.
Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd
