I chose to move from Wordpress to SSG (using two CMS approaches: NetlifyCMS or raw Markdown in git for my own site; offline Wordpress and an SSG plugin for a friend who likes WP), primarily for: cost reduction - CDN hosting is massively (1000+ times) cheaper than a VM; security posture improvement (a cloud company problem, not mine now); lower operational hassle (no more patching, DB backups, etc.)
