Not snobbery.
We obviously have a different definition of craftsman, that's why I clarified by using the term framebuilder. And I further called out a framebuilder with a reputation, not a shingle.
You should visit a LOCAL reputable framebuilder
and talk about what's important to you. These guys can walk the walk.
