Step into the shoes of a web marketing professional. They have built their entire career on Wordpress. It has themes they know, they have the skills to manage the SEO, how things look, etc. it’s got oodles of plug-ins tailored to the audience. There’s just so much mindshare and tooling available that no other ecosystem can rival. It’s easy to hire someone to build a plug-in or write for Wordpress.
Sure there’s security issues, but how do we know the CMSs you describe don’t also have issues? Wordpress is just pummeled much more so we’ll find more security issues. Plus now there’s a cottage industry of Wordpress security expertise that can mitigate these issues.
Something taking the place of Wordpress is akin to something taking Pythons place in data science. It’s possible, not insurmountable, but the tooling and mindshare have so much momentum it’s probably on a decade or so timescale for mass adoption outside of some niches.
