Sounds like Framework isn’t the right choice for you. I’d recommend you go buy the $700 option… Save the $500 difference so you’ve got money in the bank to buy its replacement when parts that should be repairable/replaceable - Aren’t.
If you’re able to find anything similar to Framework for $700, good build quality - Do let us know what that is… I’m sure everyone here would be happy to save some money.
If you can’t find the $700 quality laptop already on the market that you want… Maybe you should start a company to offer it? See how profitable the business is (or realistically, isn’t).
There’s very good reasons $700 laptops are mostly e-waste straight off the assembly line, old models, etc. There’s no profit to be made offering current generation mid-range/higher quality laptops for $700 without doing serious corner cutting at every opportunity.
Its called competition. Supply and demand. As son as there’s another Framework-like company or two, the companies will need to find new ways to differentiate themselves - One possibility would be on pricing.

so as long as I can’t find any, frameworks are justified for that price? neat

Supply and demand. And im sure they wish they could offer lower prices for more sales.
