Another way to think of the Framework fiasco, perhaps:
I'm not naive. I don't think that when, say, I bought my XPS 13, Dell didn't send some percentage of that to the Koch brothers or whatever fascist du jour. But I live in a society, and I needed a laptop.
Framework's whole *thing*, their competitive advantage, was being better. For the most part, that came from upholding political values like repairability and OSS, but still.
They just blew up their entire competitive advantage.
