Your second sentence describes engineering trade-offs. The simplest engineering solution to a canyon is to walk around it. The most practical or productive solution over the long run is a different question entirely from the simplest or easiest to implement.

Yup, those are engineering trade-offs. Making your life a little easier by causing users a disproportionate amount of resource waste, frustration and security issues is just shitty engineering. Even though the business types may like it, because externalities are good for profit.

Frameworks are simpler to implement and maintain, that does not make them better for users.
