I feel their pain to a degree, but this also reminds me a bit of someone who says 'When I was young, I loved building tree houses in my backyard with a couple of boards and some nails, now as a structural engineer, I have to do all sort of awful work like material takeoffs, load analysis, job site scheduling--it just isn't fun anymore!'. That's the nature of real work--small hobby projects or simple gigs are easy for a single person to write, but as soon as you bring multiple engineers, legacy system integrations, infosec reqs, etc. things get complicated quickly. It's a big ecosystem out there though, and people are inventing new way to work all the time (Hotwire and Sapper both have interesting ways of doing things compared to the current status quo). All that to say, I hope they find their bliss, and maybe a chance of scenery will at least help remotivate in the face of fatigue with their current set of frameworks.
