  The argument that deploying a static site will become as widespread as using computers is flawed. It wasn't that long ago that working a field was a core skill, but that's no longer the case. We can find countless examples of skills that were once essential but have now become niche or obsolete. Deploying your own site was made niche by the very tools you're railing against. Deploying a static site is likely to remain a niche skill, relevant only to a specific subset who already use similar skills elsewhere. With the rapid advancement of AI, it's likely that even those core dev/op skills will become less relevant (surplanted by others).
