All the cases outside of "oh, I dump my thoughts on the page once a year".
Even for a blog in the modern world I would like:
- automatic crossposting to Twitter and Facebook
- automatic retrieval and reformatting of external content (because, for example, twitter embeds are very cumbersome, heavy and slow)
- automatic retrieval of video and images from external sites (youtube, instagram, twitter etc.) because of link rot
- delayed publishing
- search
- and a plethora of other things
Yes, you can stitch togethe a bunch of "serverless" stuff for this, but you've just "replaced" the "traditional server backend" with a bunch of traditional server backends.
