 Some good points but calling things malware that aren't technically malware (even if they're privacy invasive) detracts from your argument. 

The real issue if, I understood correctly, appears to be local SSG vs online hosted CMS, right?

The solution for most people I think can be that SSGs and similar tools are made easier to use, like WordPress. 

I like projects like #Publii and #BuhoCMS aim to do this butthety need adoption and support. 

What about for ecommerce, is there a better #FOSS alternative to #Wordpress + #Woocommerce do you think?

Thanks.

 I consider WordPress malware because it's doing all of these calls to each plugin creator and the various big tech participants, but in a way that slows your VPS machine.  So it's not serving you or the visitor, it's serving the software creator to benefit them.  They want to monetize your data and are willing to hurt you to do so.

In fact, even the "simplystatic" plugin for WordPress had 20+ javascript calls on the final product.  So they could not even just display the text and pics

Local hosting means it works without internet using "hugo server" where you go to "localhost" in a browser

As far as woocommerce, it depends on how much data you're looking to collect from the customer.  If you're okay with fields for email, name, address then Opencart, Abantecart, or one of the other similar ones in that family, that hook up to BTCPay or fiat processors.
