Frames do not need to be true to be useful. You can collect frames for thinking and put them on like sunglasses to look at a question from differing perspectives. This builds out a tool kit to be used that allows seeking optimal solutions to whatever challenge is put in front of you.

Let's be specific "the customer is always right". This is a frame. A small phrase or idea to guide how to approach a circumstance. Is the customer always right? Obviously no. Is it beneficial as a business to treat every situation as if the customer is right, even when they're not? Yes. A bad experience converted often results in the most positive reviews. Good marketing for more business. Thus the frame is useful without being true.

Your brain has a control panel. You're a robot, complete with levers and buttons connected to your brain that can be pushed. Is this true? It doesn't have to be to be useful. You can learn what creates motivation to focus yourself.

Philosophy is a warehouse filled with frames for thinking. When you're stuck the warehouse provides additional options to try on to see if it gets you un-stuck from the problem at hand. Can keep trying on a new frame until something works.

It sounds too simple but in a very literal way you can shape your experience with reality using frames. As an experiment imagine you're sitting down and looking out at your room through a pair of VR goggles. Imagine it's all computer generated and you're piloting a giant robot interacting in this space. Next time you have lose an item and can't find it try this framing. When there is an object sitting right in front of you you can't see, shifting into the VR world frame makes it possible to see the lost object in front of you. It's disconcerting that the trick works. Who knows what reality is actually made of. We can't know that. But it's a level up in that reality to learn how to put on and take off frames.

With regard to black pill material. To my opinion those are the works of poor frames. You can pick up and put on other frames to program your brain into other modes of thinking. Get unstuck. Frames can be constructed into a personal story. A personal narrative or motto that guides your actions. This builds an operating system you can control to program your brain. You find a narrative motto in Navy SEALs and many organizations to guide behaviors in a productive way. If you do not choose to construct a narrative for yourself a fraud will give you one. Manipulative frauds usually craft these as a mental prison, a feature beyond your control which takes away your agency. Breaking out of that mental prison is as easy as opening the door by writing out your own narrative. You can author your own operating system. This is another level up.
