Maybe I missed the main point, but why is this better than monolithic ?

Is it so that the dynamic linker can potentially skip loading unused
subframeworks, or some such memory usage / startup performance issue ?

I'm not sure if you can split the lib and the includes, and still call
it a "framework" ? BTW: This was the reason that I didn't use 
frameworks,
when I did an application with an internally bundled wxWidgets version.
I didn't feel like shipping the 20M or so worth of header files with it.

If there is just one framework, in a central location, then that doesn't
matter. But if each app drags around that kind of dead-weight, it hurts.
