Different purposes. If you're building a user-facing web app Django, if you're building an API-only service then FastAPI. To me the big selling point of Django is it's a batteries-included way to build a web app that works with a bunch of pre-integrated stuff including the ORM, form validation, admin site, background tasks, etc, and it is used by so many people that you are unlikely to run into any sharp edges.
