I would add 5. All those new developers entering the web development community want to make a name for themselves, and there isn't as much opportunity for that if you are just using a framework created by someone else.

And many of those developers think that they are smarter than everybody else and instead of contributing to existing projects they are either doing another fork or reinventing something from scratch. I am strong believer in: 'Do not reinvent the wheel, improve it!' I think backend developers are more mature community, front end is still quite fresh, it reminds me of PHP in years of versions 1-3 where there was virtually no standards, everybody was inventing whatever they wanted and working on top of that. This days PHP is much more mature and the same will happen to JS and whole front end, we just need time.
