Just become proficient in CSS. Internet has a lot of bad advice. People promote tools to sell tutorials and get views on their content, as a beginner, do NOT jump the hype train. I've seen a lot of passionate developers fail at finding jobs even though they learned React, React Native, .NET, basically the full stack and were proficient at non.
Just stop focusing on damned tools. Bootstrap, jQuery, React, Vue, Tailwind all of them are something you should avoid. Become proficient at CSS and JavaScript because any hyped tool or technology is built upon these basic languages.
You good at CSS? Good. CSS frameworks would automatically become a second nature. Good at JavaScript and have a strong grasp of ESNext? Good. The first framework you learn may take some time but the others, you can learn in a week or a month. Simple as that.
Well, you have a point, but remember that many developers are full-stack devs, and there, CSS just plays a small part, so is fine if you use Bootstrap or those frameworks just to get the job done and focus on all the things on the backend like db, auth, serialization, security, etc.
But if you want to focus on front end dev, CSS has to be your bread and butter yeah.
Makes sense but this looks like an oversimplification. Suppose, you are a full-stack developer who ends up working on WordPress, Shopify or similar CMS type systems. These systems come with their own backends that you can only modify and tweak at best.
Not being excellent at frontend has hurt my career. You can go freelancing and clients wouldn't really care how well written your backend and even frontend codes are, they care about what they can see. They want pixel perfect results that frameworks cannot provide if the design is too dynamic.
I stick with my original point. Know the basics, have a strong foundation. Learning frameworks is easy and a new one comes out every day. I'm good at JavaScript and when the time came, I picked up Vue and Svelte without any trouble.
I hope you got my point. I don't advice to be anti framework but if you don't know your stuff, you'll be a mediocre/average developer. Seen far too many framework hyped developers who spend more time then required to solve problems just because they didn't knew the basics.
