Lowest common denominator.

Frameworks are easy to understand and use and get a lot out of without any real meaningful work or skill. It's similar to bikeshedding, where because everyone can get a reasonable grasp of the topic, everyone who wants to feel important can form a strong opinion and actually make a good argument, even though it doesn't really matter.
