But this is not in the interest of "architects", "system owners" or "buyers". They want programmers to be replaceable, not stakeholders.

To "architects", frameworks/libraries make programmers replaceable, and programmers need frameworks/libraries to be marketable.

Yeah that makes sense. And “nobody got fired for picking technology X from large company Y”, there’s also that type of thinking.
