Everybody is aware of this. The point is why would you choose the node ecosystem for any complex task when it forces you to manually solve all of the things Rails does for free. It's insane for a project of any complexity except for very specialized cases.
Put another way, you're exactly right, it is apples to oranges, or a better analogy might be a Porsche to a Pontiac. Why would you ever choose the thing which is inferior in almost every way?
From the comments it does not look like necessary everyone is aware of this.
You should have a look at things like adonisjs.com to get a better comparison. I am not saying node-based tech is better or worse, but to dismiss all nodejs server side and say Rails is better at everything is not a healthy attitude, especially regarding the shaky history of the Ruby language itself (eg. The whole RubySpec thing).
And; how can node be inferior in every way when it isn't even the same kind of entity? It seems you are barking up the wrong tree.
It is a testament to how successful Rails is when it is hard to distinguish it from the programming language it runs on. Congrats to them.
