Twitter is a one-in-a-thousand company with traffic amounts that most of us here will dream of ever achieving.

And not every low-traffic site is simple CRUD. If you do image processing, applying machine learning, natural language processing (or a thousand other things that are CPU intensive), it's nice that you can directly use one of the many high-performance libraries available in the Central Repository in your webservice.

You probably won't reasonably run most of these applications in your frontend framework either.

Also, the example was the Twitter frontend. So I respond to Twitter frontend. Don't derail.
