It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

Sustainability is a large part of Framework's mission as well. The CEO has explicitly said that one of their goals is that none of their laptops should end up in a landfill.

That's definitely true. There's definitely a lot of overlap but, my point was that Fairphone specialized in making "ethical" electronics beyond just being repairable in a way afaik Framework does not. And I'm assuming that a Framework phone would be upgradable and the Fairphone is not.

People looking to buy one would also look to at the other as an alternative though.

There's room for an American ethical phone maker. There's room for far more than two such companies in the world
