I disagree vehemently. Every time I reach for a JS framework, my fans spin and I get concerned that my notebook is going to take off to the moon.

Writing my own, or better yet, staying away from JS altogether, has resulted in more stable, maintainable and profitable software.

Then you exist as a very skilled and rare software developer. Or what's more likely is that your lens of software development and software maintenance is quite different to the majority of web developers.

Think about it, are you the one that maintains said code? If so, can you really call that maintainable (as in, reusable, expandable by others while you are on vacation)? If not, you are a very skilled framework maker. Then other people are using your framework and hence, not reinventing the wheel, which is my point.
