I feel like this is a bit disingenuous. The general populous/average consumer prefers simplified options. They aren't tech savvy as many here are. When you throw a bunch of specs at them their eyes glaze over. And then ask you if they can get on their Facebook.

It makes sense from a business sense to have fewer models with small changes between them. You could have tech workers that assemble every custom order. That costs a lot more than a simplified inventory of a few different models that are already pre-assembled, with no hardware customization.

Please refrain from insults, or at least make an effort to justify this if you think it’s valid.

Isn’t that exactly my point? The industry serves the general consumer. The framework laptop serves a niche.
