I’d add that the potential to support other architectures is also a benefit. At the moment the framework 13 chassis supports risc-v [0] [1] with rumors about an arm variant.

Beyond practical repairability and sustainability, I appreciate the possibility of swapping out a mainboard for another with a completely different arch
