It is never that easy. Frameworks are kind of force multipliers until you want to do something new, then you are stuck.

Demand for programmers is high even at high salaries (depending on experience of course). The average google programmer pulls in around $1 million in revenue, which covers their overhead well enough.

What average google programmer pulls in $1 million a year?

Revenue an employee makes for a company doesn't need to correlate with salary, that's based off market demand. If that's what people want they should work in sales on comission.
