> You're confusing implementing higher-level abstractions which allow the low-level details to be ignored with actually implementing your own business logic. The grandparent definitely isn't, and that's a bit of an uncharitable interpretation. I'm sure there must be a tiny minority of developers out there that doesn't ever have to write higher-level abstractions, but in the real world, writing both "business logic" and higher-level abstractions is the norm for most jobs. Only toy projects and the most menial development jobs escape that. Even frontend, which someone erroneously claimed above that is "99% isn't custom" really is. The two major libraries, React and Vue, and the rising one, Svelte, really aren't frameworks at all, and require in practice not only a lot of custom stuff but also higher-level abstractions. Again, the exception is toy projects and menial dev jobs.
