Her product isn't the website. It's the same reason Craigslist is still in business. Craigslist works very very well for what it needs to do. In fact, HN works well and could of easily been built in the 90s. We create usernames, post here and share content. No need for tons of CSS. Now I'm wondering if Ghost Blog would handle load better... No reason for a non-technical person to spend thousands of dollars to build a basic informative website.
