What I'm saying is that if Slimbook costs 1.5k and Framework costs 3k it's still cheaper for me to buy 2 Slimbooks over 10 years than to buy one Framework and use it for 10 years with an upgrade in the middle. What's the benefit of upgrading here?

Things break. More than upgrades, Framework laptops are great for repairability.
