I'm not sure why gender identity is relevant. I agree that the punishments he would have gotten for whistleblowing justify him not staying in the US.

I'm not sure that's true that it's (always) done in software. For example, the newest Framework Laptop 13 has higher resolution screens that come with rounded corners, because whatever supplier had a large stock of them lying around. If it was just software, the concept of having a "rounded corner screen" from a supplier wouldn't exist.

To give an indication, similar e-ink panels (the likely most expensive single component) to what they seem to be using can be found on AliExpress for a bit below 200usd.

Interestingly, as someone with aphantasia they're absolutely critical for me - because I'm not able to visualise the relationships without a diagram in from of me to "see" (This was the same for me with more abstract undergraduate maths, too). Given just the bullet points I find it hard to conceptualise the relationships between them without quickly forgetting the points I'm not directly loooking at.

I echo your point that diagrams are not the solution for everyone (and that a multimodal representation of relationships is clearly best), I just find it fascinating how even with something as specific as aphantasia, there is still so much variability as to how it's experienced.
