Well, there's another reason why I run this ARM laptop: it's fully open-source. Well, mostly: there's one binary blob left. But that's as close to open-source as I was able to find.

Like I said, there's no good option if you need a computer - or indeed any product - that wasn't made by some company in some country that runs against the values you believe in. Only the least bad option. This laptop is the one that ticked the most boxes for me.
