Are you willing to pay 2x the price for a Framework and get a worse overall experience in exchange for repairability?

Keep in mind that the Framework spare parts are generally also pretty expensive.

  ...worse overall experience...

Worse how? RAM, SSD and main board can be upgraded as an when needed, which is the point.

I like Framework's aesthetics more than MacBook already, and like the little customisablity (i.e bezel, mismatched coloured parts etc). I can accept a lower quality screen (compared to MacBook), speakers and camera no problem.

I'm willing to pay higher than MacBook price for the above package due to superiority of Linux over MacOs and supporting this model in general. However, I draw a line in the sand at battery life, so Mac it is for me for the foreseeable future.

		`Worse how?` Every major laptop experience. Performance, noise, temperature, trackpad, battery life, size, screen quality, speakers. 2x the price as well.

It’s not 2x the price, I paid under $900 for a brand new one.

Battery is $60. How much does a MacBook battery cost? How long does a MacBook battery take to repair and how much skill do replace need to replace it? How do you upgrade the storage capacity on a MacBook?
