No @denniseh you are not the only one. Angular Bootstrap has a lot of this rubbish that tags along like plastic flotsam on a clear blue lake.
Having used Bootstrap for a longish period, I'd say, all these technologies, yours and mine, just complicate what should be a very simple task of incorporating a good CSS framework in their projects

Exactly, I have the feeling it makes it more complicated for me than using CSS in the first place. Especially React Bootstrap forces you to use the Bootstrap React components. Which is odd, because I want to use a CSS framework and not a React framework.

you mean like
<Row>
<Col><Col>
</Row>

If so then I know what you mean
I would rather actually write normal html divs with classes (even if using bootstrap) because I can easily swap a classname of col-1 for columns-1 if moving to tailwind in future rather than have to replace every instance of <Row>
