    Much like one might argue that music genres intrinsically inhibit creativity and judgement of what is good composition.

After some consideration - and keep in mind my complete lack of knowledge in music theory - I'd say that, for comparison's sake:

frameworks, overall, are genres because they define some of the conventions for you (grid, [un]responsiveness, button shape etc.), and

opinionated frameworks are like using - more or less - the recipe for the typical song in the given genre (like the infamous four-chord songs).
