If they drastically lowered the price, a ton of people would buy them, and it would pay out much faster than having “$9999” and waiting for a few people to pay off their investment -_-
They can’t really drastically lower the price without production at large scale. And in current environment even the biggest corps can’t get favorable deals.
Also while, they are not price competitive in direct comparison, once you factor in that you can just upgrade GPU or CPU without needing to buy a full new laptop the next upgrade cycle it suddenly becomes very price competitive.
Them selling out of stock doesn’t mean everyone who wants a laptop like theirs can afford one. It simply means that they have met the manufacturing quota to fulfill the demand they do have.
Their products aren’t available in brick and mortar stores, therefore aren’t subject to price fluctuations and sales, and can’t be purchased on e-retailers like Amazon.
It’s quite possible that if people could walk into a best buy or microcenter and buy a framework laptop more people would but even at microcenter they seem to be thin on the ground and that’s the only retail store I’ve even heard about who’s selling it.
Wrong
Almost no one can afford one*

Good points
Plenty of people can afford them, and they sell out of the inventory for years every time they release a new product.
How many?

LOL of course not. No one said or suggested such a thing.
