What really baffles me is how bad we (as an industry) are at actually using engineering to leverage these frameworks.
It seems to me, like 90% of the regular, boring business software falls into a handful of categories, where in each category the same problems get solved again and again and again. Frameworks do help, but by far not as much as I'd expect.
Just think about how much software is essentially form>validation>transformation>persistence>messaging. It's always the same, yet if you'd want to write one of these apps, you'd start with a rather bare bones Spring Boot/Quarkus app and maybe a React frontend, that doesn't have any connection to the backend, so you have to manually plug them into each other.
