"I bought this cheap car, ran it for 20 years without any maintenance and suddenly it's falling apart, I blame the car." Wordpress unless it's very conservatively configured needs a mechanic every so often. And before the inevitable question is asked "Why use it in the first place, why not just use X", it's because wordpress is the easiest thing to build out while being user friendly to edit and being flexible enough to add extra functionality too. Sites rarely stay the same, clients always want random 10-20% of business specific functionality tacked on and they don't know what that looks like till potentially years after the site is built. With wordpress you can typically always add that extra functionality on without rebuilding the site in something new, that's why it's so massively popular.
