Please dont conflate library and framework.
Library, framework, DSL are different approaches for solving similar problems.
I personally tend to prefer DSL's, dislike frameworks and am neutral to libraries.
Which is why I would tend to start with flask + template-language + ORM
rather than start with a framework.
Others may have for very good reasons different preferences and that is fine¹.

But if you say equate all these, discussion becomes a mess.
-----------------
¹ html + js + css is a good example of how/why the DSL approach can lead to a mess. Curl shows a better way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curl_%28programming_language%29 aside from the politics
