In general, I think you're right - but that mindset can quickly become one of shifting costs to others: E.g., $framework-of-your-choice may increase your velocity and allow you to ship faster.
However, it might also make it harder to find bugs and it will produce bloat with real, noticeable consequences - e.g. increased RAM, CPU and disk usage, more sluggish UI behavior, etc - except, those effects will happen on the user's machine, not the developer's, so a developer might be tempted to ignore them.
