People still use Wordpress? lol
Its convenient. Not everyone wants to waste their life centering divs you know
Right, because the only alternative to using spaghetti old code is making your own, not using one of the many actively maintained free software.

https://bearblog.dev/
https://writefreely.org/
Among many others you'd easily find if you give up on the hivemind of taking the most popular approach.
You can try it, but I switched from Ghost to WordPress because of auto updates. Default ghost docker image doesn't pin the correct DB version which causes errors, and watchtower updates break your website. Also, very little in the way of existing plugins or themes. Typing a new article doesn't give much in the way for formatting.
Way more documentation on the WordPress side of things and just general QoL stuff. Plus, free templates. Spaghetti it is, but spaghetti works and I don't feel like using Hugo.
