That is also true for "macro" frameworks.

That is often also true for "macro" frameworks.

That is often also true for "macro" frameworks.

It is not clear from the reader's perspective what actually characterizes a "micro" framework. It's also not clear why the size is the issue here, when all complaints seems to be about design or quality.

Is googletest a micro or macro framework? Is google/zx a micro or a macro framework? Give us some clarifying examples. Actual things people can look for, not internal unknowable projects. There must be some exceptions too (silver bullet rules don't exist), mention them.

Also, rethink the title. Maybe "makeshift frameworks" is better terminology, as it more accurately reflects the problem that is described in the content.
