Is CPU cheap? I can literally host a static site or SPA on GitHub Pages for free. Where can I get free CPU time for an htmlx application?

Cheap != free, but the large cloud providers all have a free tier.

You can host an htmx-based site on Github Pages for free as well.

Does that fit with the philosophy of htmx? It looks to me like htmlx expects a server?

You can combine HTMX with a SSG like Hugo and generate a bunch of partial HTML files that HTMX can load later on request. No server is required.

htmx simply expects hypermedia/HTML

whatever can serve that can be used with htmx: it is intended as a straight-forward extension of HTML

Github pages hosting your static content is a server...
