I think the point of a framework is really so that we can have our development team on board when it comes to how to write an app. It also makes it easier to integrate newly hired developers on to a project right away. As a developer that has dabbled with many frameworks, I believe you can still learn what goes on under the hood, to some degree, by looking at the concepts that most frameworks have. For example, in back end development, most frameworks use an MVC architecture. Over time, this architecture should help you easily pick up new frameworks, or code your own from scratch. Thing is, we all have deadlines to meet so a framework really helps us to get things moving quickly, knowing we are using well tested tools for the web.
