Installing Security patches for a ruby stack takes a full code coverage test suite, days of planning and even more to update code for breaking changes.

Installing security patches for a Microsoft stack requires turning on windows update.

There's a BIG difference. Once you write your msft stack app, is done. Microsoft apps written decades ago still work today with no code changes.
