Cheap/free static hosting is plentiful, static sites don’t have packages I need to keep up to date to avoid vulnerabilities, and writing posts/pages in a format like Markdown makes them dead simple to migrate between systems. Additionally, using a service like Netlify or GitHub Pages affords flexibility — all I need is a git client, a text editor, and an internet connection that can manage to transmit a couple of kilobytes. Don’t even need a browser.

Aside from that, a CMS is overkill for something like a simple blog. I might consider one for a more complex site but for a blog there’s no need.
