Discussion on: Why are some frameworks so popular?

I think the pattern is happening a lot of times. One thing that also helps with being a loved language is that almost nobody is 'forced' to use it, and projects are relatively young.

The same kind of thing happened with Rust compared to other languages. Also with Quarkus, a JVM framework compared to Spring. In both these cases also the ecosystem is less mature compared to things that have been around longer.

IMO being forced to use it could also result in a rise in popularity if the tech is good

Forced by who? Yes, it could increase the rise in popularity, but it might also increase unhappiness, since when people are forces to use certain tech, it's also easy to blame it when things go south.
