Desktops are already that, though. In order for them to distinguish themselves in the industry, they can’t just offer another modular desktop PC. They can’t offer prebuilts, or gaming towers, or small form factor units, or pre-specced you-build kits. They can’t even offer low-cost micro-desktops. All of those markets are saturated.
But they can offer a cheap Mac Studio alternative. Nobody’s cracked that nut yet. And it remains to be seen if this will be it, but it certainly seems like it’s lined up to.

I’d argue not. It’s as modular/repairable as the platform can be (with them outright stating the problematic soldered RAM), not exorbitantly priced for what it is, and what I think is most “Framework,” is shooting for a niche big OEMs have completely flubbed or enshittified.

It can’t be. That’s the point.
