I've reached a very similar conclusion and for smaller pages that don't need frequent updates I usually go with static HTML if possible, pre-rendering the static HTML from templates during the build phase if there are many pages with similar layouts. If the site really is meant to grow (lots of posts, many items in inventory, etc) then a framework like Wordpress still makes sense, but for a company landing page or a vanity site I don't see the need.
