Yes, I agree. Usually these posts rely on a very deterministic ontology to make logical ‘frameworks’ stick. The word framework here is a huge exaggeration for what is essentially a single question. The question is made to seem very interesting but only because there is huge uncertainty in providing any answer.

I still find this type of post interesting in a bizarro kind of way. It’s funny how people try to struggle against all the unknowns in their lives and force life into the shape of an engineering problem. I notice it’s usually younger people doing this, maybe before too many illusions of control have been wrested from them.
