What were the steps 10 years ago that weren’t complex? I probably would have reached for Heroku back then. Or possibly my VPS on Dreamhost where I could FTP something into a folder served by Apache.

Both of these are still an option. Today, I reach for Netlify which I think is easier—-just drag and drop a folder if git is too much.

I would really like to hear the answer to that! And why the 10-years-ago thing can't be done today.

I didn't say it was harder today, I asked: "why isn't it easier today?"

I would think with improvements in tech, things would actually become simpler.

What was hard then that you're worried about needing to be "easier" today?
