No, I'm sorry, that's just not so.
A website maintained with raw HTML still works just fine on modern web browsers. In fact, it works much better. Web pages built with some CMS systems often take 5-20 seconds to load, while the "raw HTML" sites load in fractions of a second. In fact, the speedups continue; JavaScript parsing is slow, while HTML parsing is fast, and HTML compresses like magic. So a "big" HTML file is transferred and displayed in remarkably fast time.
I wouldn't use raw HTML in all cases, but I also wouldn't use a fancy CMS in all cases.
It's okay to use different platforms for different purposes.
