It's nothing personal, but many developers tend to think about their skills higher than they are in reality.
What i can suggest you, is to ask for feedback after interviews. You will get more specifics there
EDIT: I forgot to actually add a verb in the first sentence and some punctation
There is also a question of impact - i think that 19 does not really cause any harm there.
Im not talking about writing your own http server, or building the whole database access library. You can use some ready made libraries. As long as you keep proper boundaries between IO and business logic, you can fairly easy change the IO libraries.
Of course there is quite some overhead there, and for some projects it makes not sense.
The author also made a point of negligible gains - even if you spend a week to setup auth, sessions etc. if still negligible for longer running projects
