Strange. You are almost verbatim repeating what I wrote, expanding upon it, and then elaborating upon your expansion to justify the same conclusion that I wrote in about 4 words. To me this sounds like virtue signaling.

These frameworks provide value to the employer, not the developers, because it eases candidate selection and turns otherwise unqualified developers into less capable commodities. In that regard the value is entirely regressive because it requires more of the less capable people to perform equivalent work that does not achieve disproportionate scale, which is the economic goal of automation. If the given developers only return value directly proportional to their manual efforts they are merely overpaid configuration experts on top of data entry.
