I was reading this title and got super excited that they were finally releasing WWHD for Switch until I saw ...on Nintendo Music. Maybe it'll happen on the next system.

I assume Falcom is making the Switch and PlayStation versions (given they've done the Switch and PlayStation versions in-house for Daybreak/Kai and Ys X on the same engine), and either them or GungHo are doing the PC port. At the very least Durante confirmed on Reddit that neither he nor PH3 are involved in the announced PC port (yet?): https://old.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/1hhlayv/the_legend_of_heroes_trails_in_the_sky_the_1st/m2st366/
As said already, this specific chip cannot support socketed memory. And personally, I don't really think Framework needs to enter the regular desktop hardware market which is already well-served by a thriving ecosystem of multiple hardware vendors collaborating around a well-defined standard (ATX).
The "Framework Desktop", with this specific choice of hardware, seems to be more of a competitor to the likes of the Mac Studio than to anything that could already be custom-built today anyways. While I think its naming choice might be a bit poor due to it being conflated with that desktop market, I think it's a natural fit as something fairly laptop-adjacent and thus close to Framework's existing efforts and strengths.
