Nothing, if they’re simple enough to do that. Not all of them are. I’m a commercial artist and designer, so things like layout are important and need to be updatable on multiple pages because individual pieces often have their own pages. Updating 15 nav headers in a gallery on your site to save a couple of hours setting up something better suited to the task is just terrible architectural planning. At the same time, I don’t need an embedded rich text formatter and CDN support and azure integration and blah blah blah. Use the right tool for the job, and my job often calls for something ostensibly like this, which fits a neat niche.

Yea my point was that people love to overcomplicate their stuff. Having a whole infrastructure for a personal project that isnt even started yet is insane.

That depends on the project. I’m a technical artist— sometimes my personal projects get pretty elaborate and pretty technical and don’t have the equivalent of an MVP that can be put together with a few handmade pages. Even something like a simple gallery of images that each have their own page (or the functional equivalent) is going to involve a ridiculous amount of manual work right off the bat. The only dumb way to approach it is not considering the right tool for the job.
