I don't disagree that wordpress is fine, but claiming it's easy to manage after saying you have a team to manage yours and have setup a load of software to handle its complexity for you is odd. And then you say "most people just can´t handle WordPress the right way", which is basically another way of saying "it's not easy". And 85 points on Google page speed insights or yslow are generally useless metrics. They give as much weight to complaining about a 5kb image not being compressed properly as not having a cdn. It's automated dumb, they're stupid tools with quite often stupid rules. Like I just checked a site I'm responsible for and lost points for not compressing a js file that would save 524B. Yes, that's bytes. That's not contributing to site slowness at all. And yet at no point did it say "hmm, you've got rather a lot of poorly optimized js there".

I am a one man army on that point, "we" is "our company", websites are not our main business. ;-) The only software I use regularly is InfiniteWP to have a look for updates. Although it sends me a mail to my "status messages" slack channel, so no big deal on that end. Backups run automatically by BackWPUp Pro, caching and lock down are done when setting up/finishing a new site, so there´s not really much software involved at all. 85 points or A ratings or whatever alone are "just metrics" for sure. But I don´t think that I need to tell you that if you want to reach and keep a high value on those scales, you have to take care of compressed CSS and JS, auto-optimized images, caching, fast servers etc. pp. Which in the end leads to fast(er), better accessible websites without dropping backend usability or features.
