Developers use frameworks because frameworks that are used by many others take care of edge cases that most engineers have no chance of fixing, or even discovering, on their own.
Web framework code is typically riddled with comments like "this extra margin is added to the input to work around a bug in Internet Explorer 11 where Tibetan characters are cut off".
Good luck solving such issues without having tens of thousands of eyes and hundreds of hands to help you.
