Is the author trying to build themselves a spice rack or many spice racks for all the world? In one of those cases, yes, you would want a factory, but that isn't this case.

The same is true for code. Are you writing one application or are you writing the same application for many different customers? In one of those cases you would benefit from some sort of template but in the other case it all the extra stuff to scale just gets in the way.

If you want your one self-serving spice rack to scale then just plan ahead and make it bigger than your current needs so that you can add more spice later. Again, that also applies to code. If you want your one application to scale then just plan ahead. Jumping immediately into a framework only indicates you lack the confidence to make appropriate planning decisions.
