That's not the point. The point is it's not built it, because the architecture decisions were unsound. Now, don't get me wrong, I use and like Wordpress. There is not more versatile yet approachable blog/CMS/whatever out there, the ecosystem is huge and it's my go to tool when I want a quick and dirty solution. But it doesn't change the fact it has been badly designed from the start. Popularity in software doesn't reward good design. It rewards solving problems.
