That's because Flask is simple. You advertise RoR when you want somebody who doesn't need to spend a lot of time learning Rails. But nobody needs to spend a lot of time learning Flask.
That's also a drawback of Flask, in that you have to build or add more to get the same higher-level expressiveness of something like Rails. But if what the project needs is a relatively low-level web framework, it's a fine, easy-to-learn choice.
