I mean sure, being able to keep a 17 year old laptop is alive, is awesome...

but why?

I get special hardware needs to live for a long time, like, an arcade machine, specialized equipment or something. but some random laptop?

what can it do, that a modern computer cant, apart from being repaired easily (lets ignore framework laptops for the sake of argument)

if his point is he just wants a framework laptop, it already exists.

It also avoids a lot of waste/pollution/cost. That might sound trivial, but over the course of 17 years an average person might own 5 laptops.
