> The "Jamstack" throws all of that out and encourages people to glue together as many third-party APIs as possible that they get to keep paying for forever and that cast the surveillance net ever-wider around readers. Of course nothing stops people from Missing The Point and throwing Google Analytics on a totally-static site, but "Jamstack" normalizes that behavior. This is the opposite of progress.

To be fair jamstack does not imply 3rd party APIs. A valid jamstack could all be on your own premises, just that every API is deployed independently.

That is a fair point. It still cuts you off from other forms of static distribution like IPFS/USB though.
