Framework bloat is community-scale efficiency. [Everybody uses a different 20% of the framework](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/12/09/simplicity/), but it means that the core infrastructure, team, QA, etc are pooled. If you need to expand to 21% you already have that covered. If you look at the popularity of Spring Boot you see that people want more integration and between libraries not less. Now, it drives me nuts and definitely offers many sub-optimal solutions, but we need to face it, large frameworks are here to stay. Large frameworks are the new operating systems. You can do better with custom on bare-metal but there is a reason the Linux nevermade it on the desktop.
