The problem is knowing what's actually broken in the first place. A friend of mine took their laptop to Geeksquad and they told my friend the power circuit was broken and the motherboard needs replacing. I checked the charger and realized the charger was broken and told them to buy a new one and what do you know it works fine. Most people are generally incapable of figuring out what actually is broken and will go to a repair place anyway. Or if the device is old enough they will just buy a new one. These days devices last a long time if you take care of them physically so by the time something starts failing it's likely already time for an upgrade for most people. So the actual DIY repairability of laptops just doesn't matter for the vast majority of people. What Framework is doing is awesome amazing though and I hope it does encourage companies to make easier to repair computers to lower the actual cost of repairs.
