That was my first thought also. OTOH, Framework's business model is "we're going to charge you more to get that thing you actually wanted without locking you into stupid business models."

I would absolutely pay a premium for a decent TV without all the advertising crap that pops up every time I turn on the TV.

I'm not sure that is the business model. Framework laptops are more expensive, but not by much. They compete well with Macs and the high end laptops they are aiming to replace.

On the other hand, TVs can be bringing in quite a significant amount of their revenue post-purchase, like $100/year.
