This is exactly what a headless CMS is not.
A headless CMS is a content management system served through an API.
Thus, legacy render-based CMS like Wordpress / Joomla where the database is completely tied to framework will decrease because of how heavy, poorly flexible and competitive they are from every point of view.
It’s also important to note that your CMS isn’t bound to any render-full GUI like WordPress but instead can be managed from anywhere as long as you have the APIs for it.
With serverless database having exploded in popularity over the past 5 years it makes 0 sense to use any of the solutions like those.
Takes Firestore/DynamoDB /Cosmos, add one collection named « Article » and you have a rudimentary CMS to store articles with a fully operational CRUD served over HTTP.
Works anywhere and will cost you 0$ once it’s cached with your favorite CDN.
Did you really read the article or did you just commented assuming what was in it ?

I think you may be getting the front-end GUI and back-end GUI mixed up. A headless CMS omits the front-end GUI, but includes a back-end (content management) GUI. It admittedly also includes a light CRUD API over the database, so it's slightly more than I initially said, but not much. Here's a more in-depth explanation. Maybe this will clear things up for you: https://css-tricks.com/what-is-a-headless-cms/ https://css-tricks.com/what-is-a-headless-cms/
