I find razor pages and mvc easy to use but why is it not that "famous"? every time I see web frameworks its: Django, Rails, Laravel, Express
but razor pages does not appear much on quora, stackshare, g2.

with django its not that convenient I have to manually setup static folder path, template path, register app etc.

why isn't razor pages or asp.net core mvc not that popular?

Who uses razor pages or asp.net core mvc in production anyway?
