Rails 2.0 came out and hundreds of people were able to get their own little slice of what the web could offer internally. I made roughly $140,000 one year just because someone wanted a build for something that made them close to $10,000,000 in profit without having to do custom Windows / Mac development. It was the fastest method to get something online and only go better through Rails 3 through 5. Yes, the mature code bases are a pain because people try upgrading in place and don't want to rewrite anything so you have Rails 3 code in a Rails 5 codebase because 'it works'
