The guy above makes this point across the thread and I'm pretty certain he has never worked in a team on a complex app.
I suspect your point is that Angular or React must exist as the primary work product for a team to operate, but why? Are you suggesting that nobody is capable of writing software without a third party framework to tell them what to do? To me this sounds like you have absolutely no idea how to program or that you have no faith that anybody can program original solutions... except for the people who invent large frameworks.
Your own comments.

No. Not at all. I'm suggesting they're unwise if they do it voluntarily (as in: not constrained by compliance etc.).

I'm not surprised. Surely you roll your own STD as well? Boy, I really hope you never import a function from any library. Otherwise you would be just like us, the stupid idiots who can't write original code. While we're at it, hopefully you don't build upon an operating system as well, since any reasonable dev would be rolling their own. In all seriousness: You and me both build solutions on millions of lines of other people's code. I'm really wondering why you're acting so high and mighty because you're using a couple hundred lines less.
> no faith that anybody can program original solutions
Original solutions can be created just fine with library code.
