It's supposed to be more than that. Sinatra is described as "a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort".

Entire web applications, with minimal effort. I have not found this to be the case with Sinatra.

The application is not the server.

Of course, I agree. But though in practice Sinatra may be just a library for routing HTTP requests to a Ruby application, it is marketed as a relatively complete environment for building web applications, making a bunch of these criticisms valid.
