The idea that apps can never be done and can never stop adding new features is the key determiner of web bloat. This is the problem.

Well any non-framework interactive app that ever reaches the point of being "bloated" is necessarily a train wreck, regardless. You can have massive apps that use a framework, and has a good design too. However if you have a massive app without a framework then it's absolutely guaranteed to be a dumpster fire. So frameworks help manage bloat, but lack of frameworks fails completely once the project is large.
