This doesn't follow. At business startup frameworks provide a huge boost in user experience through code re-use.

Perhaps it provides a boost in the initial development. But the applications that I've seen and used that use frameworks almost always provide an inferior user experience when compared to those that don't.

You say unfortunately, I say "lowering the cost of production means lower costs to consumers, and/or more valuable stuff getting created".

Everything is a trade-off.

I say unfortunately because the product quality is reduced as a result. So yes, we have may have more stuff, but most of it is seriously substandard.

This may be a positive thing for some people. It's a negative thing for me, though, because it increases the difficulty of finding good solutions, and reduces the number of good solutions that exist.
