Sure, there's a reason. Doesn't mean it's a good one :-/
> 5 years ago, I switched to NextJS. It's a spaghetti of NPM modules just to build a very static website for very simple content. Sure. But 5 years later, the very same site is still up. There is no maintenance involved as the site is hosted in Github. Not sure I'd say the same about WordPress.
Is 5 years considered a long time? Is that the bar? Because >6 years ago I wrote an internal site/app in C# using Jquery for front-end, and that is still up, working and being used by a few thousand people daily. It's even being extended every now and then.
No NPM, no React, no Vue, no Next, no front-end build step.
