Being married to a framework is arguably worse than using separate, isolated and composable libraries to handle the equivalent things. You can fight architectural problems of a library easily, but not when there's one inside a framework and between its internal components.

I disagree. The odds of a grab-bag of small libraries by different designers who may or may not be actively maintaining them working well together is much smaller than the likelihood of a framework's components working together. And besides that, familiarity with the framework means you are able to understand its limitations and how to work around them.

Some frameworks are more composeable than others. Even some 'full-stack' ones like Symphony are becoming more component-ized
