A web framework can be conceived as a selection of design choices already taken for you. The choices RoR does for you are extremely successful and very simple to understand, hence the name: you are developing "on rails" and as such you build things much faster.
This was very true more than a decade ago before the Node revolution adn when the alternatives where Struts or Spring MVC in Java, or Zope with Python. Fast forward to 2023, I would say that other platforms have caught up a lot, but my personal opinion is that Rails still has the edge.
