The tradeoff is that there is basically nobody else that has the expertise or time to do the same thing at a similar level of polish. We're not going to see more Ciechanowski-level posts unless new libraries and frameworks make it more accessible.

We definitely won't if people are taught that frameworks are the only option and never allowed to just write a full program on their own.

Nobody stopping you from not using a framework, and yet there is basically nobody else at Ciechanowski's level. It's not going to happen, you can't expect everyone to become a hardcore webgl expert (have you tried?). If we want more cool interactive visualizations, we have to make it easier. Otherwise, we're stuck waiting for those with the time and expertise to pull it off.

Maybe, maybe not. We should do the experiment, though.

What experiment do you mean?
