Unfortunately Ruby (horrible to read) and its environment - bundler, gems, rvm, capistrano are absolutely terrible. Extremely messy and intrusive in a host system, broken between any updates..
Ok so you can make it work, for small projects. Where Python is cleaner, clearer, with the same feature set. Going to medium or larger projects you still go for Java..
I think a better question he should have answered is:
Why should I develop anything in RoR since it has so many core issues, including security, performance, and scalability?
I think the answer to that question would reveal why RoR, and Ruby itself, are a declining minuscule percentage of new projects, much like no one writes anything new in Pascal or Basic anymore.
Stating "It's dead, David" is probably the only conclusion.
