Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore (www.theverge.com)

It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

Eh, Pinephone and Librem 5 made it work, but there's still a fair amount of software limitations here, and I didn't think Framework should be a software company. But the radios themselves probably aren't the blocker you make them out to be.

They absolutely did not make it work. Go read any of the reviews and the complete unreliability of the cellular functions of both devices are chief among the criticisms.

My understanding is that those issues are due to suspend to save battery life, which isn't directly related to the radios. A more appropriate SOC (i.e. one designed for mobile use) would probably be more reliable with the same radios they selected when going on standby.
