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.
