I am inclined to agree with this comment indeed. Having had to learn a lot about these things recently (and trying to stay away from frameworks), it is quite difficult to not feel 'boxed in' by the rules imposed by React, Vue, etc. I feel as though one is encouraged to learn a framework instead of the basics. Having learned the basics, I can now see why there are frameworks, and what their uses are, but often I wonder whether people decide to do something in [x] framework to make their work sound cool, before even knowing what it is they are building.
