> Frameworks like this are nice if a) you want your site to look exactly like every other site which uses this framework (rare)

I might be an odd duck, but I would love it if most sites looked the same. I'm also one of those that loved interfacing with apps that used windows 98 templates and interface wise functioned the same instead of reinventing everything differently.

90% of times I'm visiting a site or opening an app, it's because I want to interact with its data or functionality. The more it adheres to my assumptions and pattern recognition, the better.

No, I'm not a robot, but I get my creative side tickled elsewhere.

I think you're confusing look with function. Two things need not look the same to "adhere to assumptions and pattern recognition," but rather need to function the same and have the same underlying conceptual language. If the web had better builtin widgets (combo boxes, dialogs, etc.), then you'd get this benefit, but because everybody is reinventing everything with JS, every site feels different.
