Yeah, of course. But there's a difference in things like, "I don't want Tailwind, I want Bootstrap" or React vs Vue; instead of things like I don't like Ruby or I don't like convention over configuration. The former set of things ARE decisions you can make within the framework, while the latter are things you can't. You can have this exact same conversation about most frameworks, it doesn't have to be just about Rails. I also had a Symphony repo set up in a similar way when doing consulting many years ago.

Having said that, some of Rails opinions are becoming more optional lately.
