Is that really different from dongles? Since you can't buy them from third parties (yet), it sounds like they're just selling you your ports. Even Apple doesn't

Is that really different from dongles? Since you can't buy them from third parties (yet), it sounds like they're just selling you your ports. Even Apple doesn't do that anymore. Stress is also negligible, or TB ports are not fragile. We have a few thousand MacBook Pros and almost no mainboard replacements are due to port damage. This doesn't make Apple better, just noting. Fair enough, but we've had no cases of TB controller failure that weren't covered under warranty. Framework's warranty as-is is insufficient for enterprise or commercial adoption. Swappable RAM, wifi, storage, etc are not unique to Framework (and Framework is more limited in internal ports than many older devices).
