The simpler the abstraction, the more likely the end product will not be a disaster if it is a critical system. Frameworks are development speed enhancements but frequently are not "better" in terms of mechanical function. Even "major" PHP applications built on frameworks (i.e. Magento 2) frequently lose site of those abstractions and create fundamentally flawed products where the solution is you need a software developer to spend hours on it just to make the thing "work" as advertised. This rush to abstract everything is good for developer productivity, to a point, but I've rarely seen it result in a better/saner product.
