4) Why use Bootstrap?
> Because Bootstrap is the most widely adopted development framework, with the largest thriving community and most extensive documentation.
How about something a little better than "because everyone else is using it", such as:
"Bootstrap gives us a common vocabulary of classes and components that makes it easier for beginners to build fully-functioning markup, and makes it easier for developers of all levels to communicate with one another. It also provides constraints on the otherwise-unlimited possibilities of HTML+CSS which makes it possible for us to build this GUI tool that interacts with it."
There's too much fluff in that description. If i were a potential user and saw that line, i would just close the tab without trying to understand what you're trying to say. The op rightly described the essence of what makes bootstrap compelling imo.
Not being able to understand something doesn't make it "fluff". I believe that there is actual meaning to what I wrote (maybe you disagree, and that's okay... but it would be nice to hear what exactly you think is "fluffy" about my explanation).

Meh, it's not a terrible way to market something: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_proof
Also, the more CDNs using it, the more likely is to be in your browser cache, and the easier it is to find devs.

As opposed to the original explanation, yours actually applies to virtually any CSS framework, so makes no argument after all.
Agreed.
And if you really wanted to, you could supplement it: "...making it the most widely adopted development framework."
