F. The parent article mentions solutions are often custom made by one person. Can problems in the field be reduced such that extensible open-source frameworks could be applied? The way we have frameworks for webdev?

I'm very new to this area, and am really not the right person to ask, but I'll try my best ;)
In general you have frameworks when lots of people are trying to solve a large number of problems that look similar at the start and then will diverge. That's pretty web specific. I think instead in bio you mostly get (and will keep getting) modular tools and pipeline standardization.
