The house building analogy is pretty good and I think that frameworks are pretty close to how house building works right now. Pre-fab is like using cookie cutter components and throwing them together into a website using something like Wordpress or Squarespace. On the other hand, frameworks are like using common tools, foundations, scaffolding, and (literally) frameworks to build a custom architectured house.
Of course, building your own home is possible but that could be a shack made up of sticks and mud or a stack of bricks and mortar with no base/foundation which can fall apart at any moment.

This is exactly the problem, you are trying to use a standardised blurprint, to build a custom architectured house. Where you should probably make a choice here, either go standard or custom. > Of course, building your own home is possible but that could be a shack made up of sticks and mud or a stack of bricks and mortar with no base/foundation which can fall apart at any moment. Why would a highly skilled builder build a shack of sticks and mud, or a house without foundation? Why do we assume that every software developer is an incompetent clown?
