Most code is written to make money. Frameworks make it easy to not only start a project but run it for a long time with fast time to market. I agree that if it was just about writing nice code, libraries are good but if you want to make money writing code, frameworks help do it much faster.
You could argue that you can make money writing without frameworks but at what cost and how many teams can successfully do that ? Framework gives any team (even average ones) the headstart they need to continue to actually do something that makes money.

The solutions space usually has a middle ground somewhere (affectionately called 'horrible hack' every once in a while). It's what makes a difference between a software engineer and a programmer. To paraphrase, anyone can build good software, but it takes an engineer to build good software quickly.
