Which is why we're sadly only really going to get it if a major manufacturer decides to go Framework on us, because otherwise the economies of scale just aren't there.
Or laptops get so uncommon that manufacturers have to band together and agree on standards.

The Cortex A53 on the original MNT Reform is even worse.
