A lot could be said about it, but the first thing that comes to mind is that not every application uses a db.

And not every application that uses a db needs an ORM.

You probably can build an ORM into the single file. But I'm not saying every application should be developed as a single file forever. I just like that you can start with one and expand later.

Then you don't need django, flask and fast API already does all that withing a single file.

What makes django useful is the admin, auth, session and so on that are all built around the ORM.

You never know into what a project will develop. So it is nice to know you can expand it into anything, even when you start simple.
