I despise frameworks like this. They cater to a crowd that I don't believe exists. Who goes and wants to just toss together a mobile-friendly site but doesn't have the skill set to do it without a framework like this? The huge companies that do this rather write their own and the little guys generally have hackers who can write something more efficient. The simplicity of HTML and CSS make frameworks for it seem rather silly. Edit: That is, of course, unless it's something like YAML or SASS or LESS which completely redefine how to write the code.

You're coming from a context of businesses and startups, but perhaps it's most useful to solo developers. Isn't the appeal that Skeleton and its ilk simply do the pixel-figuring for you? I similarly have the skillset to make a CSS grid, but I chose to wrap Nicole Sullivan's 20-line grid code in a gem just so I can brainlessly include grid functionality without even touching a CSS file. It's projects like these that help expose people like me to bare-bones implementations upon which to build.

What about developers who just want to speed up the process a little and enjoy a bit more organization?
