I read the post even the line that says it's a joke but there's some reasons for not using frameworks or libs on the real world. Using them makes your project sensible to the maintenance of another company or community that maintains that framework, apart from that I see many people using them indiscriminately instead on using them for the reason they are made to.

Data leaks could happen on any system but of course they could be more frequent when using some backend framework that has a day zero security hole that hackers can use, it can happen to your own system too but the hackers will need to inspect your own system for months instead on inspecting a framework used by hundreds of thousands of people. That's why you need to audit your security when on production, specially if you're on a big company that can be a target for hackers.

Don't take this matter of conversation as a joke because it's not, important facts are over the table when analyzing and architecting a project that can be or will be used by a high number of customers in order to protect as much as possible your customers data and privacy.
