Every User who buys a Purism laptop has still a better device and at least paid attention to the topic privacy than others who buy regular cheap/standard laptops. And every user who got a Purism device and joins this community is a good thing of others are so much better, they should just improve their marketing ;-) ... and yes buying a cheaper refurbished device and installing Coreboot or libreboot might be possible, this is nothing every user can do, maybe they just want a slightly more secure device than a default windows laptop and if Purism is the reason why a user is running Linux instead of Windows/Mac this is a good thing. If you blame Purism, than you should also be fair and request that a user inspects the Mainboard of a refurbished laptop to make sure that the device is not tampered with. Also consider that some users just want a modell that looks sexier than the Lenovo G505. Maybe users buy a Purism laptop and next time they buy something even more free ... That's still great.
