"which is antithetical to software engineering where a new framework is out every day."
Hey! Objection!
I'm a software engineer and I have no need to keep up with random web frameworks popping up left and right. I'm fine writing my C++ and C#, thank you. I have to keep up to date but the stack evolves over a decade, not every quarter (or what ever the cadence is for web stuff).
Become an expert in a field and then it's irrelevant if you know framework xyz or not - it's no longer a critical requirment. It's critical you have domain knowledge, and what ever the tech stack is it's expected you can get up to speed in it just fine on the job.
