Coreboot is amazing, more machines should have open firmware--especially those intended to run FOSS OSs.

100% agreed. it upsets me when i see companies like framework advertising themselves front and centre as Linux-first, yet won't sponsor a coreboot port. starlabs, system76 and novacustom actually walk the walk
Framework plans to eventually support coreboot, as far as I am aware. (Or open source the current one they purchased). It just wasn't the main priority. They focused on making a repairable laptops ecosystem first. Switching to different firmware later isn't ruled out.
they originally announced their intention to open the firmware 4 years ago

Starlabs is at least as repairable as framework, older, and coreboot.
