True, but all these installed apps still increase the size of your one project which becomes larger and larger. You can't install it in parts, you can't make any architectural or language changes as it requires a rewrite of the whole project and each new release/ deploy effects the entire codebase.

Microservices doesn't fix everything and you're right about Django encouraging this type of design. Each approach has it's pros and cons.
