So do you think using Django is stupid? I guess you think the same about every product that uses Ruby on Rails?

No, Django is not stupid.

It is the decision to choose it to run load that will require 1000s of servers when it could be handled with 5-10 servers in another technology without more development effort.

I doubt they expected that level of request load that early on - I imagine the technology choice was made significantly before the whole pandemic thing started.
