> much of the work ends up delegated to the devs anyway

For many implementations though, requiring a dev to make the changes is the failure state.

I love static builds and use them all the time when they're the right fit for the project, but in many cases they are not. I'm also finding that I'm starting to lean towards a CMS more even when it's "just me", but I have a team of agents. i.e. I want the ability to have a voice conversation with a dot / grok bot / etc. and have it update content without it having the ability to do dev type things.

It's the inverted pyramid that has always been sort of Drupal's niche... a small number of all sites, but a large percent of the largest sites in the world.

And fortunately those of us in tech, the amount of software in the world is exploding so all those lanes are getting bigger, even within their niche.

Thanks for clarifying. I think you're suggesting that there's an "excluded middle" customer that I've just never seen in real life.

citation needed. Pretty much every single React/JS front end dev I've dealt with, doesn't know, understand, or care about the web server aspect itself "Not my problem".
