You could also say that you are reduced to using a language like Ruby because your current level of expertise in assembly language is not sufficient to allow you to program in that. Using a framework allows you to build on code written by others to achieve what you want to achieve without re-inventing the wheel. Even if you have the expertise to re-invent the wheel there is no point doing it.
