I use Django not just for the framework, but for the larger Python ecosystem of packages for just about any eventuality, whether that be NLTK, pandas, or whatever (and if I didn't need the full weight of Django there's always Flask or FastAPI).
That's not to knock on Elixir or Phoenix, and I like Elixir a lot, but there is usually more to projects I've worked on than CRUD apps, and I've found with languages with smaller mindshare and ecosystems that you can spend more time reinventing wheels because a particular library is missing, or it's there but is no longer maintained.
