If you’ve made a great product and you can’t design, find a designer, there is a deluge of designers out there looking for a collaboration. That assumes that you're making a product that designers will be interested in. Maybe it's just a crud app for doing finance stuff, or any number of utilitarian apps. And if it's a non-flashy open source project (projects geared towards designers don't count) then chances are slim that you'll find a designer willing to work with you on it. Design also has a very different collaborative model than development. You can't just have tens of random designers drop by and contribute patches. I think Bootstrap is a net win for the web because it raises the baseline. If Bootstrap didn't exist, would all of those developers instead become/hired designers?
