Most designers could never create something that's better than the basic bootstrap framework, which makes this site incredibly ironic. There's nothing wrong with a common design language or layout system for the web. I shouldn't have to sit there for 5 minutes to guess how to navigate a website.

Maybe? Are you meaning 'most' in the more general of terms (in which case I'd argue most programmers couldn't even use bootstrap because most implies > 50% and many programmers are terrible at front end web development)?
Maybe I'm just used to high quality designers but I haven't worked with one yet that couldn't do just that.
I'm not talking about developers. Most designers on the web are neophytes from a UX standpoint because they got their start in print in college and are making a transition lest they become unemployable. Furthermore, the nice thing about bootstrap is that I can look at the code and immediately understand the intention of the designer. Custom rolled CSS isn't that obvious, usually.
