Framework adoption is likely power law distributed and therefore exponentially greater mindshare and ecosystem development (e.g. supporting libraries, learning material, best practices, blog posts, etc) accrue to the first place contender. It tends to be the case that technologies become fairly entrenched as a result of these effects, once they break out into mainstream adoption (think UNIX, SQL, etc). Ember never made it to that point and almost certainly never will. People are still free to use it of course, but it’s going to be a poor technology choice in light of the above factors.
