Are we railing against all unshielded boards, or just this one in particular?

There's vastly more Raspberry Pi's in the world, almost all of which live in clear plastic cases if they have any case at all. All of the home built computers, pretty much the same...

There's more bare-board crypto mining rigs than laptops Framework has ever sold.

This "shieldless" case harms no one.

The alternative for the owner is discarding the hardware. If Framework sells enough laptops maybe they'll make a more "properly engineered" secondary-use case down the road. For right now, it effectively recycles old hardware, and that's a pretty good win.
