In a nutshell. Frameworks suck because they force me to work their way for everything. Even when most of the things I need to do aren't a natural fit to that way of working.

Your arguments are too abstract. The framework introduced by certain library is intended to save the time of developing your own framework. So in real life you have the choice of doing everything yourself, or adjusting your work to the ready framework. According to your statement, you just dislike forcing yourself into the ways proposed by others. This is fine, because tastes differ. But in the real life the frameworks created by others can be very helpful. So it is incorrect to simply say "they shouldn't be because I don't like them". There's a saying (at least in Russian) don't spit in the well, one day you may drink water from it :)
