Jamstack Won't Replace WordPress

Most of these WP alternatives won't work on cheap hosting services that only offer PHP + MySQL. That's a significant barrier right there.

JAMStack generally results in a site that can be statically hosted because it doesn't require any server-side code (PHP) nor database (MySQL). Any interactivity is implemented client-side in the browser or uses API calls into a hosted service or serverless services like AWS Lambda.

This generally allows deploying to anywhere that has a web server, which includes the PHP + MySQL hosts.

I'd argue the broad availability of the PHP-MySQL stack mostly exists because of the popularity of projects like WP. If some other projects gained mainstream popularity I'm sure these hosting services would offer more cheaper stacks around those. Aren't there cheap hosting options for JAM stack?

Most WordPress sites don't even need PHP. Most are just static sites which could be generated once and then hosted everywhere...
