Funny because static site generation was the first big trend on the web back in the mid 90s.
It was abandoned for more complex stuff and because of improving code stacks. But it's still a very valid strategy where it can work and for very heavily hit sites.
You can even make it work with comment sections. (Slashdot for the longest time statically generated their site)
What you do is take in comments, but don't show them till some time passes and your site is regenerated. The advantage of that approach is that the site is always up, and site generation is independent of current load.. if it takes longer.. oh well.. so be it.. but the site is still up).
"No-one" is talking about one of the biggest and most mainstream trends in web development over the last several years?
My exact same thought 😂
