Is the Framework OSHW? I thought it was just very repairable, but proprietary. Have the PCB schematics and other designs been released?

I jumped on the System76 train initially and feel burned. I'm looking for an alternative for my next machine. Its gotta actually have functional battery life next round. I expected a firmware update at some point from system76 to resolve this and it basically has never happened.
On one hand, I guess I'm glad it's not me; on the other hand, I wish it was just some dumb config toggle ("terrible_battery_life enable") that I could flip back to get more than a few hours of working time, or ~48 hours in my briefcase with the lid closed (!!!), before it was dead as a brick.
It's like the early 2000s all over again, where the battery just got you from one outlet to the next.
I feel bad even saying anything, because I like the company and Pop_OS and what they're trying to do in general. But damn, that's a big flaw to just ship products with in 2022.
The limited suspended battery life is admittedly rather annoying for me as well, but it doesn't seem as bad as it is in your case.
