The value of the ecosystem is that each component does its part and each other component that has interaction with that component reaps the rewards. This leads to a natural evolution of components in the ecosystem (for instance, DRF evolved out of the need for better REST support, since projects like Tasty Pie were lacking thing that the rest of the ecosystem desired). The idea that anything of value has to be nationalized and assimilated by the framework is a misguided effort to prevent chaos in the ecosystem, but the end result of trying to maintain order in an emergent ecosystem is usually disaster.
