How do you know that Jim believes this? I don't see anything in his
initial announcement (or in skimming the documentation) that implies
you should choose Bobo over any other framework.

Again, this seems to be a stretch.  Jim simply sent a message letting
people know about Bobo.  I for one appreciate that, as it's useful for
me to have different tools in my toolkit for approaching different
problems.  Bobo may share features (or non-features) with other
frameworks (web.py comes to mind) but that doesn't mean it's "copy and
paste".

This feels like an ad hominem argument which is both surprising and
unproductive.
