If WordPress dies it'll be one of the best things to happen to the web in a decade. People will be forced to use something else, so a product with actual security, and a design from after 2001, can finally get traction. A persistent annoying thing I've had to maintain for years has been WordPress sites. As a Systems Engineer, their design is particularly annoying to support, and the way they are changed and deployed leads to tons of predictable failures. It's possible to turn WordPress into a real, CI/CD driven, ephemeral deploys, with diffed, staged, tested database changes. But for some reason nobody has built that as a canned solution (I did long ago for a previous employer). Fun fact: the reason you get a billion blog results when you try to Google for a recipe, is 1) a WordPress plugin that auto-generates recipe blogs, and 2) a Google Metadata thing in the page for encoding recipes. Google prioritizes all those blogs with the recipe metadata. End result: millions of garbage blogs churned out via WP, and nothing but garbage results. Not really sure why Google continues to prioritize garbage.
