I really hate this meme because it misunderstands how learning takes place.
If you are learning basketball and only did the fundamentals you would be practicing drills your whole life. Drills are important but don't teach you everything you need to know. You need to practice the fundamentals in the context of a game or you will not get good.
Learning frameworks can definitely be detrimental too but for a beginner, a framework is often a real world example of how some fundamentals work. Einstein said "Learning is an experience. Everything else is just information." Learning fundamentals is just information. Practicing them in a real life situation is learning.
So I like to learn new frameworks to figure out how principals I've never used before work. Sometimes I'll continue using the framework and sometimes I don't. I think it is definitely prudent to limit how many frameworks you learn but it is wrong to throw them out totally.
