I totally agree with you and would like to add another angle. I have a CS degree but have spent my career largely writing SQL. Given time I can figure out most technical things. Therein lies the issue, time!
I got taken by the HN hype over SSGs and moved my site from Drupal (I didn't want to move to Drupal 8) to Hugo. I spent a glorious three weeks porting my site and getting to grips with Hugo hosting my site on Gitlab. As is the case with me I then didn't touch my site for over four months and when I wanted to post a new post I had to learn a few things again. I have a work device and home PC. Posting meant I had to be at home because that's where my pipeline was setup. In the end I just moved to WordPress. I am not a web developer. There are probably smarter ways to setup and post to Hugo but given limited time at my disposal and limited functionality of my site, WordPress just easier for me.
