Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC (arstechnica.com)

They’d be competing with a bajillion other case makers. And I’m pretty sure there are already cases with what you ask (such as 5.25 bay mounted IO running off USB headers, at least).

Like… I don’t really see what framework can bring making a case. Maybe it could be a super SFF mobo with a GPU bay, but that’s close to what they did here.

There may be already such a case but you and me have never heard about it and it's probably by some chinese no-name brand.

A proper metal mid-tower case with modular front panel I/O (using Framework's system with the USB-C converters) and modular optical drive/hard drive bays would be unique.
