When Framework A is unmaintained and therefore has known, unpatched security defects then migrating away is critical tech debt that needs to be prioritized.
In my org frameworks are actually our largest source of tech debt issues.
Example: Somebody years ago bet on Angular 1.x, migration to 2+ was deemed “a near-total rewrite” and postponed, so now we have to rewrite in React or whatever flavor-of-the-month. The same happens with Java, .NET, and other backend frameworks.
