As the other commenters noted, the point of using it is for the plugins. Unfortunately, the ecosystem is just plain garbage. Quite recent anecdote: I was making a sales pitch and showed my contact our website. Lo and behold, one of the plugins went rogue and just started loading adware onto the website and forcing popups and page redirects. The plugin in question? Manages fucking blog posts. On WordPress. A plugin to take the blog posts and index them into a separate page. On a blog engine.
