It would be nice if they'd offer something FCC compliant rather than unshielded eye candy.
Most of the shielding is done with metal lids/cans on the board already.
Not to mention I'm unsure what the original complaint even was - the Framework laptop has a lengthy list of certifications, including ones from the FCC[1].

This isn’t a well shielded case.
There's vastly more Raspberry Pi's in the world, almost all of which live in clear plastic cases if they have any case at all. All of the home built computers, pretty much the same...
There's more bare-board crypto mining rigs than laptops Framework has ever sold.
This "shieldless" case harms no one.
The alternative for the owner is discarding the hardware. If Framework sells enough laptops maybe they'll make a more "properly engineered" secondary-use case down the road. For right now, it effectively recycles old hardware, and that's a pretty good win.
Since there are no computer components sold with the case, it doesn’t need FCC certification. It is the responsibility of the end user to comply with all local regulation. Pretty simple to understand.
Something like this computer unlikely to throw off enough radiated emissions for anybody other than the owner to care.
So like, what's bad about that? For example, I life in an apartment with concrete walls, ceiling, and floor. Is there a risk I'll affect my neighbor's pacemaker with my extensive collection of electronics, probably many of which are poorly shielded? Is this affecting my network cables running hither thither in the apartment, or the switch plopped on top of a pile of cords with a raspberry pi sitting bare on top of it? My steam link downstairs? Is it causing cancer? Making my audio quality worse in my speakers? Basically, what should I be worried about, here?
