My personal problem is that people start to present themselves as "React" or "Angular" developers, which is kind of scary for me personally.

It is also hard to explain that you can pick up their framework (e.g. switch to Vue.js from React), many companies just say "no" unless you can provide strong experience. Some companies have better policies and they insist only on core knowledge and principles, but, unfortunately, I personally find them to be in a minority.

TBF I think it's driven more by recruiters demanding it than programmers wanting to brand themselves that way.

Yep. When I'm working on my resume it's a balance of trying to use the right relevant buzzwords to get past HR and enough content to get a callback from the person hiring. In my experience on the other side, HR doesn't often know that Rails implies Ruby or React implies JavaScript. Wrong buzzwords === wrong experience and not a fit for the job.
