I think maybe they are just referring to the fact that in that era pretty much everyone had to build their own "framework" to get a big web app up, because there weren't a lot of established choices.

Between 2008-2012 there was ASP.Net Web Forms and MVC was becoming popular.

I didn’t play in the Java space back then but there were plenty of Java frameworks (https://dzone.com/articles/what-serverside-java-web-framewor...)

Ruby on Rails was released in 2005.

Knockout JS was introduced in 2010.

Django was released in 2005.

There was also Mojolicous for Perl also released in 2008.
