Aside from the obvious that ninja let's you use django.

[WD-42]

The ability to use django is the main attractor. The other frameworks are great but make you reinvent Django if you require auth, orm, admin, etc

[bkovacev]

That would have been my argument exactly - I am not saying that Django fits every use case, but with my limited exposure to projects that have ended up using non-Django Python API framework, they ended up recreating the batteries included approach, with probably way too many issues waiting to be discovered with manually rolled out auth, middlewares and ORM.

Oh but you wouldn't reinvent Django, you'd build a properly architected, simple system.
