Yup, people tend to focus on the upgradability aspect and totally miss the repairability one. My own story is as follows: my panther had an ASUS laptop and extrapolating from previous experiences expected the laptop to function on AC when the battery dies. NO SUCH LUCK! Since it's a hybrid usb-c powered hardware it needed a battery to power up. The process of replacement was so tedious and expensive that we decided to buy the Framework instead. Fool me once...
