People always talk about scaling large apps with Flask or Django, but I think that misses the point. If your app gets large enough it will inevitably start to go its own way. The point of these libraries is that lets you do a hell of a lot really quickly.
I'm someone who quit web programming in around 2008 while IE6 was still a thing. I used to write PHP without a framework. As someone just getting back into it, Django and Flask or downright magical. I can do so much so quickly that would have taken days to do before. With Flask-RESTful you can turn some code into a microservice in about 10 minutes.
For me, this is what makes these libraries great, not that they will fit every need of every app ever.
