I'll take a bite and be a defensive developer.

I really can't put frameworks in the same bucket as AI. At least frameworks describe an abstract model for a developer to rationalize and think through. AI allows (but doesn't mandate) a developer to write code that they don't understand.

Perhaps I've worked on business logic so long instead of esoteric efforts; what real world use case would benefit from not leveraging a framework where applicable?

In fact, I see your publicly posted resume; are there really developers out there rawdogging Javascript? What problem space do you hire for that mandates the ignorance of >15 years of JS libraries?

And does your business pays above market rate for these skilled developers? Without understanding the problem space I just assume your business tries to hire talented people at exploitative wages. Regardless it appears to be a staggering waste of talent unless the higher quality significantly reduces the cost center of downtime, bugs etc (I find this hard to believe)

Performance, security, and portability to start. If you work in a high security environment you should expect to NOT have access to things like Maven or NPM.

I hear so very many people on HN and the real world complain about web bloat. Even the people who contribute to that bloat and cannot live without the contributing factors complain about it. As somebody who is only writing personal software now and working in a completely unrelated field I certainly wouldn't punish myself with bloat that requires far more work than executing without it.
