Python is much easier to learn and most devs already know it. It fosters quick and simple code that is super easy to maintain, and python/django is a huge and accessible ecosystem.
I don't need to learn a new language I won't use for anything else, I don't need to learn a framework that is not as simple as its proponents describe. I also don't need to learn a new package manager or go digging for gems that do what I need.
If you aren't already invested in ruby, there is very little to gain as a web app developer. It would be a huge waste of time to drop django or flask and learn not only a new framework but also a language that is often described as cumbersome to use.
Ruby on rails might make sense if you already know it, but it makes little sense for anyone else to learn it these days.
