There is absolutely nothing stopping people aggregating modular pieces into boilerplates that work well. Developer productivity isn't some entity manifest from a singular repetitive workflow. That sounds to me like an appeal to create dumb cogs of critical thinkers.
Can you justify why 'monolithic frameworks' is the right direction?

You could take 10 seconds and write 1-line modules to abstract your specific imports - "import Component from 'mycomponent'". This is not a valid argument in favor of modularity or small modules (and I love small modules).
All it will really take is one person to merge, say, React with a boilerplate-reduxed Flux framework, a REST library, and a handful of other must-haves, under a single, new product name. Let's call it "Rimble". When people realize they can "import { Component, Actions } from Rimble" we'll see a shift towards monolithic frameworks and the ball will start rolling back in the right direction.
