I like the Lego analogy, but to be perfectly honest, I still feel a bit confused about what a headless CMS is. I thought a headless CMS was just a de-coupling of the FE from the BE, so you can have a BE written in Rust, C#, C, Go, Node.js or Python etc. and can access it via an API in your FE framework which could be written in React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Astro or whatever else is around.

Aren't tools like Wordress etc low code platforms rather than headless CMSs?
