Absolutely not :)
Maintainability is one of my core values too, down to doing my own bike maintenance, like you! But it is far from being #1 to such a degree that this would make sense for me.
The Framework laptop is a good divergence point for us. Whereas you continue to eke out 9s on the DIY side, I realize resilience by having a spare decade old ThinkPad lying around at all times on which I can run Linux and Neovim in a pinch, and trusting there will be a lot of sub-$100 ThinkPads in the future should that one break on me too. I carry around the bits of CS and mathematics needed to trust myself to write a slow, informal, bug ridden parser with Haskell's combinators from Markdown to HTML if I ever have to. I don't see that day coming any time soon.
I'd hire you if I could. You'd be the perfect counterweight to a great many folks who tilt in the opposite direction.
