A good framework must help you maximize a scarce resource.
The BCG matrix helped companies allocate capital to business units. This was because capital was the scarce resource in the 80s. McKinsey had a framework called "portfolio of initiatives". It was about allocating talent to the most important initiatives. This was because talent became the scarce resource. The number of important initiatives a company could pursue was limited by the number of 'graat people' that could drive those initiatives.
A useful question to ask when someone proposes a framework: "Does this framework maximize a scarce resource?"
