What is the point of WebComponents, exactly?

Let's quote from here:

--- start quote ---

Web components are a set of web platform APIs that allow you to create new custom, reusable, encapsulated HTML tags to use in web pages and web apps. Custom components and widgets build on the Web Component standards, will work across modern browsers, and can be used with any JavaScript library or framework that works with HTML.

--- end quote ---

They don't allow any of that, do they? Because, as you so eloquently put, "use a framework". As I'm already using a framework (there are dozens of them out there), what is the selling point of WCs exactly?

Oh, right. "Use Polymer", how can I ever forget.
