By large I agree, its just common best practices these days. Or at least have some components statically generated like the rss feed.

I know some will go 'oh well I want a web interface to create or edit posts in', nothing says you cant just implement that part dynamic and have it update static components on modification of posts.

it used to work like that. At the moment, the dynamic pages take miliseconds to rende and ship. Even though static files would be a an order of magnitude faster, we're talking about it already being fast enough for 99% of the time it is needed and that is good enough. Reducing my time and friction maintaining and using my own blog is more important and having five sigma of uptime.
