I agree with what you say that you might not need a framework or library and you don't if your app and use cases are simple. That is what one of my team leads told me as well when I started out fresh as a Junior. That was the argument of all the team leads there at that startup. No for the bells and whistles of JS or Python frameworks right, right?! Guess what we ended up using those frameworks and wasted so much time writing throw away code, trying to reinvent the wheel. Don't do it at your job or your business. Frameworks are wonderful for juniors to get started and train them until they develop the curiosity and intuition to try and understand how things work. JavaScript is still a very badly structured language and there is no standard way of using it, yet. I would say only do pure JavaScript for educational purposes or if you want to become a core developer for that language or improve an existing popular framework. Don't be like these Linux purists, we don't need a another Linux distro or another JS framework. We just need one that does all the basics well enough.
