I'd argue that it might be a good thing. Should it take infinite energy to solve the problem of creating a decent CSS framework that works in modern browsers?

The challenge is that frameworks like TWBS and Foundation provide web developers with a great boost in productivity when trying to hammer out a product. They can spend more time on building a quality product and less time on the minutiae. It also creates a shared vernacular for the developer and the designer to work with. Without it, things are more grey.

Obviously some people hate these frameworks, and that's totally valid too, but for some people, they really are a boost.

I interpreted d33's comment along the lines that maintaining a matured framework should need less effort than it took to initially build it, so it would be natural that the amount of changes is shrinking.
