It starts early in the design process. But at that stage, it would be best to pause installation, have a mechanical engineer do the mechanical design (including equipment selection) based on an energy model and install the recommended equipment.

I work in building science. It's obscene how little actual design and quality control goes into residential homes.
The typical design is just one step above being illegal, and people are often scared off of doing anything more than that by the threat of increased cost. However, they don't realize that they pay for it either way; either on their mortgage, or on utilities. Only one of those you can actually own in the end.
How about we just settle this over a game of battlebots and no one else needs to get hurt.
I've got two Ubiquiti APs and the standard Dream Machine and am quite happy with them too. Sure, they're not the cheapest option, but they're quite feature rich and expansion within the ecosystem is very easy.
I'm not terribly familiar with the Fairphones, but are you able to upgrade the ram yourself? I feel like that should be a key part of the modularity concept.
I'd recommended PC part picker to determine compatibility with all your upgrades. You can tinker with different setups fairly easily and have the costs easily accessible. I believe there are also tools to determine likely bottlenecks, but I haven't searched for many lately.
GPU will definitely be the biggest cost, but also likely the most noticeable improvement. RAM is fairly cheap, so you can bump up to 32 Gb without much expense. Not too familiar with Intel CPUs but it's possible you might create a bottleneck with a GPU upgrade. Not the end of the world if you're fine with upgrading that later too.
It's a very noticeable improvement in realism in games that do this. Quantic Dream games have also done this, even in Heavy Rain from 2010, and it really goes a long way in making a game into a story.
If quitting the game is more complicated than alt+F4, I often just alt+F4 after saving.
Works just fine for me?
How many people are actually auditing an open source app themselves though? And if they don't, they again need to trust others' opinion.

A mall that's only random clothes, shoes, and jewellery stores surrounded by an ocean of parking lot is very unattractive.
As you say, a mall with actually useful stores, like grocery, pharmacy, perhaps a restaurant or two (not chain fast food), etc, with residential units on top or very close to constitutes more of a community than a mall and is very likely to be sustainable versus the former.
