I could respect Purism more if it weren't for their company's name (and the name of their OS, PureOS).

It's one thing to present yourself as offering the most free product currently possible with modern specifications and styling, while being up front that modern specifications and styling currently require some compromises to freedom, which you are working to overcome in the future but which is not available right now. A name consistent with that would be something like FreedomChasers, or FreedomPath, or something like that.

But the use of Pure and any derivative of that word misleadingly implies 100% pure, total software freedom, no asterisks, no fine print, no compromise, as the company's top priority over everything else, including specs, style, you name it, and that that purity exists in their products NOW. And that's just NOT what they do, and not what they offer.
