It does so more directly by being a PC without Microsoft Windows pre-installed or proprietary BIOS.
Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be proprietary.
Ubuntu helped enable Purism to exist and they are great for that too.
I don't understand what you're saying and to be honest I don't care. All I wanted to say is that people should support Purism because they value FOSS principles. Sorry if I was too obtuse.
