Agreed, the external connections like USB-C/USB4 will probably last a good long time.
I was thinking more of the internal stuff like the display connector (not sure what framework currently uses - eDP/LVDS/something else?), and all the input connectors for keyboard and trackpad.
Looks like one of those recorded message things you find inside greeting cards - the glob of stuff below the black epoxy blob (the ic), looks like a badly corroded button.
Can try cleaning the button up a bit, or removing it entirely, and bridge the connections beneath it.
