Yes I’m aware. My point was it’s not that concealed once you’ve invested the time to read the docs and peek at the code of whatever framework you’re using. The time to do that is nothing compared to the time saved using these frameworks.

I wasn’t sitting there thinking Harry Potter wrote Spring Boot.

Sometimes you can easily peek at this, sometimes you can't. I can see there being a good DI framework, but there's easy potential for them to be terrible. Like one of them used at my job cannot be understood from code at all (it uses special build rules) and has awful documentation. The recommended way to understand it is by copy-pasting what others have done. Once you do that, it's tolerable.
