Why, in 90s we have to hard code HTML to make a website. Then PHP emerged, and then WordPress and Joomla and countless themes - making a shitty website became very productive. What happened next? Crappy WordPress sites were not cool, so the Rails era began. Making of big crappy websites became very productive. Nowadays there are React and other indispensable stuff to make very cool crappy websites. The productivity soared - one could make Bootstrap, React, Mongo, NodeJS hello-world website in a half of a day.
But if content is crap productivity of making site does not really matter, and if content still is a king, no fucking hipster's frameworks are required (hello, Craigslist and this very site).
Same thing happen today with ML tools and techniques. One could download and install Tensorflow in 15 minutes (I am so clever!) - a huge boost of productivity, and then one has to apply ones own brain, which is, usually, not near as productive.
That's why.
