There are actually plenty of modular laptops. This one doesn't look terrible but there are plenty of other options.
Thinkpads have a pretty good reputation. You can also get big "desktop in a laptop" style PCs, and generally, the thick gaming laptops tend to be easy to work with. You can look at Clevo, which is known for being the OEM for many off-brand PCs, notably System76. If you are a bit more extreme, you can look at Panasonic Toughbooks: hardened, industrial laptops with plenty of swapable modules.
Framework have the advantage of being thin and light, most modular laptops are on the big side. It means it fits a niche. However, if re-usability is your goal, keep in mind that it is a startup, it may fail, and if that happens, forget about support and spare parts. By comparison, Lenovo is not going anywhere.

I confirm, I havent bought one yet, but the other day I saw this laptop: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Type-i5-10300H-Keyboard-FX706LI-ES53/dp/B08ZLC661T https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Type-i5-10300H-Keyboard-FX70... 17 inches, a 144hz screen,GTX 1650, 512 GB SSD and space for 2 more!. You can add a 4 TB HD, a 1GB SSD, and change the RAM to 32 GB and get a monster machine for about 1200 USD. With a Clevo (and other similar brands) you can have even more customization options, although I expect them to be more expensive.
