If the people behind Purism aren't frauds, they are massively deluded. They also have not given up. Giving up, in my opinion the only ethical thing they could do after all the false statements they have used to convince people to pay premiums for average laptops, would mean offering to refund all of their customers in full and shutting down their operations. They have not done this.
Let's be perfectly clear: there was never a chance at all for Purism's
laptops to be "free hardware", or 100% libre software, or even
privacy-respecting. The hardware they have sold to people is hardware which
will not run without the Intel ME, which must be signed by Intel and which
Intel couldn't release as libre software even if it wanted to.
