I doubt it will move significantly in that direction. Sure, some will look into that, but I suspect most people will just find an alternative, accept the lower quotas or stop blogging.

I think a huge majority blogging on WordPress.com have no interest in learning the tech stack to run something like Hugo. The quick start for Hugo includes command line git, which will probably make 99% of bloggers stop reading.

(n-gate.com seems to have died, but the prediction that WordPress.com bloggers would switch to static site generators and use git for version control would probably qualify as an example of the comical HN-bubble.)
