Having tons of libraries and multiple alternatives with unclear criteria for choosing A over B - that's a problem, not an advantage.

It creates unneeded wasted work in evaluating and comparing the alternatives; it makes maintenance harder and slower as people moving between projects have to get used to different components and styles every time, etc. Opinionated frameworks have a valid engineering reason for being and staying opinionated.
