I noticed that most of the frameworks (CodeIgniter for example), do provide a default .htaccess file but don’t force its use.
.htaccessfiles only work on apache servers. When using other servers it highly depends on what you want to do – but usually you need to edit the server config to rewrite URLs, block directories, etc.The fact that frameworks need .htaccess files is actually an annoying problem from the PHP world since 99% of all applications are stored inside the document root, thus giving users HTTP access to all their files unless they are somehow restricted (e.g. via .htaccess). On the other hand, if you have a WSGI-based python application, you usually store it outside the document root and “mount” it to a certain folder in the document root – this way not a single file can be accessed directly via HTTP.
