Bootstrap made a lot of ground by being associated with Twitter early on. There's now a huge community of plugin and theme developers for Bootstrap. Foundation does not have that sort of backing.

You're missing the entire point of buying a bootstrap theme.

Yes, anybody can do that with Bootstrap as well. People who buy themes don't even want to waste that time on customising it. I already have 2 clients who bought a theme on WrapBootstrap because they wanted to have a UI-in-a-box for an internal tool.

There's Foundation Made[0], which seems to be operating for about a year now. [0] https://www.foundationmade.com

1 year and that is all they have (and not very diverse) says a lot about the Foundation market.

Honestly I see Foundation and bootstrap having two very different markets.

Foundation is still very very popular, but I find it much nicer for custom built websites compared to bootstrap.
