That's the thing, you're really not. The majority of websites lack features that take long to build from scratch.
Sure, if you're going to build a custom ecommerce site, or a calendar /task management application, inventory management tools, and such, using prebuilt stuff of course saves time.
But 10-20 page websites, meh, the tools hardly save you time if you know how to write custom html/css/js.
And i'm not saying this to be petulant. I'm honestly saying, you can build a full website just as fast from scratch once you understand those three languages well enough. This of course takes some years of web dev to achieve.
In the mean time tools do speed things up, but leave you stuck with bugs you don't understand since you didn't write the tools.
In the long run knowing the languages speeds up your entire process, including when you choose to use tools to speed certain aspects up, but you'll also know better how to debug problems with those tools since perfect tools do not exist.
