A "simple text blog" shouldn't need to use anything of the sort.

Sure, but you're getting hung up on the link title and not the actual substance.

Imagine if the title was this instead: "Show HN: a simple text blog demonstrating how to use Cloudflare workers and KV store"

Would simple text chatroom demand the kv?

[krapp]

No.

Yah, I guess you could use WebRTC or some other way of exchanging messages now that I think about it.

You don't even need realtime. You can get away with just having people POST to a backend, updating a database and letting people refresh the page.

[evbogue]

Why do all that when you could have the server write simple text files to the disk?

[krapp]

You need interaction for a chatroom, so you at least need a form somewhere.
