Under that definition of a CMS I agree, however I think what you are describing is an MVP of a CMS that would require additional features and (likely) bloat to truly be useful to most publications.

Examples:

  Social Media integrations
  Subscriptions integration
  Advertisements + trackers (which will likely pull in additional garbage)
  Analytics (GA, etc.)
  Comment section + moderation tools
  Media: images, videos
  Font(s)
  Responsiveness

It CAN all add up fast unless someone is keeping track and responsible for keeping these sites lean.
