It is a good point, but a lot of other options allow you to leverage open source features rather than re-inventing them in 4D. For example, Drupal has a great feature set out of the box and I'm not going to re-implement all of that in 4D anytime soon. I'd rather just figure out how to synchronize the data. My other problem with 4D as a public facing web server is the system is unusable during backups. And you have to bring down the website to perform software updates.
