Yes, amen! but... Writing in HTML sucks, and it's a distraction from your writing itself. Markdown or text are better on that account. And then pushing code through FTP ain't super fun, especially given that having a pipeline that runs Jekyll or Hugo is free on github and pretty much a copy-paste. From a consumption perspective, having some form of consistency across your blog is also pretty good, even if to satisfy your ego, especially if you get it for free. I would argue that setting up a bit of infra on top of it, which will probably take the better part of an hour if it's your first time, is a very good way of reducing the friction and making sure you actually write.
