I'd blame Social Media. It did more to kill small websites than anything else. Possibly starting with MySpace in 2004. WYSIWYG never really went away even after Dreamweaver and FrontPage lost popularity. My ISP had a web-based editor in the early 2000s, lots and lots of free hosting providers also had them (HN tends to only remember only GeoCities, but there were hundreds of those providers). Also: Weebly, Wix and Squarespace are quite old, mid-2000s.
