I think the point is missed with this example. Given your hello world example, how much effort does it take you to add URL args, make it operate like a RESTful resource, change the route that triggers it, add user sessions, address security concerns, template out responses, tweak those templates without touching the code, etc.
Some in that list are easy to do via the method above, others are painstaking. What you give up in simplicity, you gain in extensibility and scalability (often, not always). This is true across almost all of the primary non-functional requirements. A good framework is one that lets you build up to a problem, using only the pieces you need and minimizing the time you spend operating with the framework. The mindset in this community naturally gravitates to that solution (function and component combination), but you can find it in other frameworks/languages (Pylons is a great example).
