HTML5 Boilerplate is meant as a quick HTML template for HTML5. It resets CSS and injects older browsers with a JavaScript program that brings HTML5 features to older browsers. It creates a level playing field in browsers so you can build your site using modern browser patterns.
Bootstrap and other frameworks include tons of CSS for things like grids and different module templates. They also have jQuery plugins to add responsive controls, animations, and other features. They build on the intelligent defaults that something like HTML5 Boilerplate offers and offer tons of features so you can prototype a design quickly.
