I don't think it is fair to blame the tool for the mistakes of the operator. I feel like the real issue is that demand for software developers and specifically web developers is higher than than supply. Which leads to a situation where anyone who can put pixels on the screen, with at least some degree of reliability, will be hired and will put pixels on the screen. And they will choose whatever tool there is.
Another issue is that if look through job postings carefully, you will see the pattern there where framework knoweledge is valued above everything else.
It is "React Frontend Developer" or "Vue Frontend Developer", not just "Frontend developer who is capable to pickup whatever technology we use".
There are reasons for that, of course, but it is hard not to see that this approach will likely skew hiring into looking for a specific knowledge in candidates. And candidates are going along with a path of the least resistance and learning stuff they need to work with backwards.
