Hacking and brute force attempts, and the risks they pose to uptime are big reasons I advocate for this. And yes, plug-ins matter but a lot of sites tend to have them installed. My point is, there’s rarely any reason to have to deal with any of that stuff. Plain old Apache or Nginx or S3, serving HTML behind cloudfront, is impossible to hack and basically can’t even be DDOSed. There’s little reason not to. It’s not like anybody even uses the features of WP that need to be dynamic, like the commenting feature which can’t be turned on without a flood of bot spam.
