I strongly agree with this point and believe there's a generational aspect at play. For newcomers, the knowledge required to avoid being labeled a "low-ability developer" and to write your own frameworks is significantly higher than it used to be. I'm fortunate to have learned in a simpler era, without many of today's bloated frameworks. However, my equivalent challenge is that I find much of what compilers and assembly do to be "magic incantations."
