When are we as a community going to move past treating frameworks/languages/tools as a silver bullet? Frameworks don't make teams better; good management, technical leadership, and great infrastructure does.
You are right but frameworks help with long term maintainability of code and also being able to build out features quickly which is what the comment was referring to originally. If they use Go lang of some other tech stack without framework it can help them achieve their goal but not at the same speed.
I can't even find any evidence that they use Rails, and I'm pretty sure their outstanding velocity is minimally explained by their choice of tech stack.
