Can someone who owns a framework tell me wether the lapthp provides methods for neutering the Intel backdoors(AKA IME)?


No. The IME could be disabled via hardware like Purism have done with their Librem series, but it seems like Framework hasn't made the effort to do so. They also still use a proprietary firmware on their ECs. In the future they plan to support Coreboot but if you ask me it is far down their bucket list.
