I've seen this more often go the other way - that adopting a framework appropriate for the problem right now then turned out to be a massive restriction on the system as it grew, because the framework turned out to be inappropriate as the system developed. At least with homebew code, you can adapt it however you like. With framework code you're at the mercy of the maintainers, or you have to spend massively more effort adapting it to your needs, with the risk that a future update to the framework could break your code.

That system would never be exist if not for the framework. Also good luck hiring developers who want to work on your half-arsed system (or rather who would run away as soon as they realise that their experience is barely transferable to another business). With homebrew code you end up with a few really old developers whom you pay a lot because no one else exists in the universe to support your system. Everybody else comes and leaves while never saying that, to be fair - you really need to rethink your approach to software development.
