I mean... it is compatible. Just not in a clean way. You'd have to prop it up and tape it in place.

Nah that's not good enough. It might be electrically compatible, but is certainly not physically compatible. And if it was "compatible" according to framework's definition, why would they add a compatibility warning at all?

It will definitely work if you buy and use m.2 30 to 80 adapter, but it makes little sense as 2 tb 2280 ssd cost twice less.

Let's ask us the question: Should Framework claim that this SSD is compatible with their laptops? Personally, I think it would be misleading if Framework sold an SSD, claimed it was compatible with the Framework laptop, but you had to buy a third-party adapter to get the SSD to fit. That's the sense in which the SSD is not compatible with the laptop.

Luckily, Framework sees things as the same way as me, hence the compatibility warning.

Well, on the linked product page they chose to write: “This item is not compatible with the Framework Laptop.”

Since they think it’s not compatible, I think that warning should be more prominent.

I’m just saying if I bought it by mistake I’d must make it work rather than return it. When all you need is a little tape and cardboard is no big deal. I understand why they have a warning, but even if you miss it you’re nowhere close to screwed.
