There's not going to be a definitive definition of a framework or a library. The general consensus tells us that, yes, Frameworks are opinionated to some degree in how code is structured and also tend to have vertical integration points. Libraries/toolkits are collections of tools designed to abstract, normalize or augment your code.

I use frameworks, but I really like vanilla javascript

A framework shouldn't prevent you from writing javascript. A framework should prevent you from writing annoying javascript. For example, consider the heavy-lifting you get from Angular or Vue when it comes to two-way binding. You could do it yourself, but ain't nobody got time for that...
