This is exactly my view as well. Every time I've used Flask, I ended up regretting it, because I've invariably needed to fit something to it that would have worked out of the box with Django (or at least integrated much more easily).

I haven't found any reason to use Flask in a project, except maybe for small, ad-hoc scripts that you want to run in a single file.

And its perfectly possible to write a one file/ten loc Django app. Everything is optional. Its just there by default, because 99% of projects will need it anyway.

In your last example, "the guy" is one of the people who was on the team that originally created Django, back when it was an internal tool for building a news CMS.
