[WA]

Being able to deploy a bunch of HTML files to static hosting services, no runtime like PHP etc. required.

If you use a CMS, it has to run somewhere. If you don’t want it on a server, you probably don’t have the same config on your dev machine. Most CMS require you to configure root domain paths etc. and they are different on your local machine. It’s all a lot more complicated than using an SSG to transpile a bunch of markdown files to HTML on a dev machine and upload them.
