Note: I started my comment with "in theory".
I would be disappointed in framework if they locked out 3rd parties from selling replacement parts. That's the whole point of right to repair.
My hope is that if people rally behind a platform like this, it will drive the price down too.
There's also the fact that we currently aren't pricing in the cost of e-waste, much like how gas in the US doesn't currently price in the cost of climate change related damages. It could be that those $400 laptops are artificially cheap for now, but once you start charging companies for planned obsolescence, it doesn't make financial sense anymore.
