If Framework succeeds, then that upfront cost would eventually pay for itself as you perpetually upgrade the hardware rather than buy an entirely new laptop every time you want e.g. more RAM. Not to mention that as this catches on and Framework finds its footing, I'd fully expect the prices to come down with better economies of scale.
