Framework[0] is looking more and more attractive as my next machine.

A stark contrast with an HP laptop that died after the same daughter spilled sweet tea. There was no option for self-repair. It was possible to open the back lid and save the NVME, and that's pretty much it.
Framework > HP
I like your positioning of her being the recurring root cause :)
Surprisingly it all worked fine, apart from one thing... when attending meetings, they would turn the laptop ion at the start, and after about half an hour, someone would usually ask "Can anyone else smell banana?"
(I can't remember the model, but I think it was a small (like 10-12" or so) HP with an extremely slow, awful hard disk, maybe 1.8").
Framework laptops are looking more and more like the future for Linux users tho.
I doubt their anti-consumer behavior and security claims are some “rogue decision that will be reversed”.
It's a setting that can easily be turned off in the BIOS UI. One could argue that this shouldn't be the default (and I would agree), but in practice this is a none issue.
Not sure if Lenevo actually does care at all.
It's great in many ways but I just am very disappointed in the keyboard. It's really a lot less nice than the Thinkpad keyboards (even the new models). I wouldn't dream of buying Lenovo though.
