I don't see what's non-modular about ARM. Most of the stuff that's user-serviceable on a Framework laptop would be serviceable with ARM:
The only difference is RAM, and theoretically they could design a socketable SOC to reuse existing boards (not sure what happened to Project Skybridge). The only difference is RAM, at least for the user, and I really don't think that'll be a deal-breaker. Modern x86 chips are already essentially SOCs anyway...
