Framework didn't do anything. They're just announcing what somebody else did, which was to make a motherboard that has a RISC-V processor in it, which fit a Framework laptop.
I get your point, but there's simply no way this happened in a vacuum, at least not in this case. IMO it is far more important to acknowledge the things that Framework /did do/ in support of this project, even if a lot of that work simply came from properly publishing design specs, mechanical drawings, and other documentation. It's very encouraging to see Framework actively support and promote the 3rd party ecosystem around their products, designs, and specs.
