===User Privacy===

~~Privacy is completely fine,~~ As ~~framework is only selling~~ hardware, ~~Nothing else~~.

As Framework sells solely the hardware and not the software, it doesn't need any more information than is necessary.

Framework business model is to make repairable and customizable computers, at a hardware level.

===Market Control===

Framework ~~controls the~~ laptop ~~customization market, But~~ it's the only ~~company that specializes in that category~~, ~~While thinkpads are still their rival~~, ~~Thinkpads are not being made~~ with ~~customization~~ in ~~mind anymore~~.

Framework is known for making highly modular and user-upgradeable laptops - [https://www.windowscentral.com/best-upgradeable-laptop some reviews even call it one of the only fully upgradeable consumer laptops] available with replaceable motherboard, CPU, ports, etc. But that doesn’t mean it “controls the whole market” because there isn’t a sizeable established “modular laptop market” with traditional competitors and market share metrics the way you would see in mainstream laptop segments rather than part by part.
