Is it really though? What's the alternative for a drag and drop website for non technical people? I haven't found one that works any better.

  Wix and Squarespace will happily take their money in exchange for a very nice drag and drop website interface.

    That's true, but you're locked to them, if they vanish or decide to terminate your account for some reason, you're pretty much hosed.

      Yeah with WordPress you can take your site and migrate it to a different provider. Can't beat that.

        Time is money is opportunity cost though. If a proprietary provider is able to get you up and running faster then that's more time you have to spend on other things, like the rest of the business. Let's be real, the chances of getting shutdown if you're not in a grey area is pretty slim - if you are, eg crypto, porn, cannabis; then I'd not use a proprietary provider - what is "beat" is time spent on the product instead of upgrading WordPress plugins.

          Premium WP providers can take care of plugin updates and backups for you that's not an issue. Ever heard of Smart Plugin manager?
