Great doc sites are dynamic in heaps of little ways. Stripe started the trend of showing you code snippets with api keys from your account to test with.

Frontend docs sites almost always include runnable examples, that you can play with inside the docs.

You can get dynamic functionality for docs sites without much JS at all. We've been doing it for years.

It's easier to integrate JS when the entire toolchain is all in JS. That's my main reason for using React Server Components over other static site generators. Also I like types via TypeScript.

You can use a static site generator like Gatsby or a variant of Nextjs (or even docosaurus), get MD(X) support and full features of react components when needed

Pretty sure Google started / had this years earlier (before Stripe even existed?). And there may have been others earlier as well.
