I actually have no problem with this because Dell/Lenovo/HP software and firmware is a mess. I suspect the issue is that the underlying platform is shit and a mess and this is being reflected in the software.

At least Framework are trying, unlike Dell/Lenovo/HP.

Can't agree, at least Lenovo is trying:

Dell on the other hand...

Load of marketing crap. USB ports soldered onto the motherboard and have you ever tried buying parts from Lenovo?

Also my T14 gen 3 has several firmware problems.

Dude, I don't know what your expectations are, but you have to give credit where credit is due. Lenovo is never going to release a Framework-like product, nor will most of the PC manufacturers. Improving the repairability of devices, however little, is progress, and is much more than what the Apple Lord will ever want to give you. The ability to replace RAM modules is significant, as it is almost non-existent these days on premium, non-gaming 14in laptops. I am not a Lenovo fanboy or anything, and Lenovo has plenty to dislike, but they are doing great work and heading in the correct direction.
