Good framework scales and is easily extensible from its tiny core. Software that does not use any framework cannot scale to provide more functionality and can offer good performance only at a simple task.

Because most don’t scale doesn’t mean all frameworks can’t scale. The problem with most frameworks is that they load too much by default, or that they have too much dependencies within them. If you get rid of these problems, you’ll find out that frameworks perform almost as well as having a simple custom MVC library and a database abstraction layer. Except frameworks will have other functionalities, like an easy-to-use model caching, which will actually make them faster in a real-world application. More on that at a later time. :-)
