There are plenty of Spring Boot starter dependencies that you can pull in to do some of the things you're mentioning. Can you say "install spring"? Yeah, I think so, there's the Initializer that comes in different modalities. Migrations, you ask? Not sure what kind, but Flyway or Liquibase are some popular dependencies, which are natively supported by Spring Boot. Again, it's all a breeze, as I'm sure Rails is too. I get that there are poor workplaces making Spring applications a hellscape, and some of those folks escape to go do (let's say) Rails. Others may decide that Java and Spring are fundamentally fine, but need to be used in better ways and then they do so, we're not all idiots (not suggesting that you said so).
