20,986 PointsThe only difference is the markup. When you make a template while using a front end framework such as Bootstrap, then the markup you put into that page will follow the conventions of that framework so it can operate properly. The advantages to using a front end framework in this case mostly comes down to use of the mobile first responsive grid, pre-styled elements such as buttons, modals, tooltips, and whatever else. The idea of all of this is that you no longer need to spend time creating all of these structural and formatting styles and can move straight to design.
If you were to write a simple template page template yourself you would have to do it all from scratch. Not to say that is a bad thing. It all comes down to the project and its needs.
Another thing a Bootstrap built theme could do would be to use a plugin that has Bootstrap widgets and shortcodes. Same is true for a Foundation built theme and a Foundation widget plugin.
