Framework don’t have in-house BIOS […] it’s not entirely surprising to see them being reluctant.
No, they don’t, yet. They have already mentioned that they will work on a BIOS in the future, and are already providing BIOS patches for current systems. They are merely a startup now, and clearly didn’t have enough initial capital to order enough systems for each batch at the start, let alone writing a custom BIOS. They have grown immensely over just a few months, they haven’t even been around for 6 months yet and have already sold thousands of systems. I’m confident they will eventually get around to writing a custom BIOS, and I seriously doubt this is the final revision to the hardware as-is.
See this post about the most recent Framework BIOS update with new features and fixes already.
There is clearly already work being put into the BIOS, they just needed to improve their team, which they have been working on through the new hiring process. Although, looking at your profile, I can’t imagine you’re a stranger to any of this news. So, I don’t see how Framework is “reluctant” to add this new feature, as they appear to be doing whatever the community wants/needs first, and considering there was a feature addition to change the LED brightness on the power button in the last BIOS revision, something tells me battery charge thresholds aren’t that far out.
