My ideal is a static site generator that has markdown as the input, a couple of data connectors (to things like Google sheets), and that can be "hosted" in GitHub. On commit, a Github Action would generate the static content.

We're close to that I think. Something like Hugo may already be there.

For the vast majority of WordPress or small business portfolio websites (beauty, building, etc) this would be perfect.

GitHub already does this for Jekyll automatically.

I run a couple of charity's websites on their own custom domains from GitHub. The charity workers use github's web UI to edit the markdown and submit, and it automatically rebuilds the site quickly (O(minutes))

The current crop of SSG's will have no impact on WordPress because they are only available through the command line. Normal people have no interest in learning how to use the terminal nor how markdown works.

I could be wrong, but I think Publii is the only SSG that doesn't work from the command line and is specifically targeted at end users.
