I could imagine using a Fortran Web framework when the goal is to build a monitoring console or API into a large Fortran project.
In situations like that, the effort to make it so that you can build the Web-facing parts in a more Web-friendly language is often far greater than the effort to just build the bits you need in the main language.

Everything, and I do mean everything, is such a pain in the ass with Fortran. To the point where large scale applications are riddled with trivial overflow, race condition, and injection bugs because the language actively fights against doing things the right way.
