Very much like saying, “my vehicle will outlive yours. No, it doesn’t have wheels or axles, because my vehicle is the human legs.”

The only issue I see with going pure HTML + CSS is that you lose those smooth client site transitions that tools like next.js/gatsby give you.

Is there a library that can give you HTML + CSS low kb site but those client site fast interactions (no page reloads)?

The main issues are the ergonomics of authoring and maintaining consistency around a site. A minimal static site generator would keep internal links and boilerplate consistent. Connecting that with markdown, Org mode, or reStructured Text would help with the ergonomics. But then you lose the goal of having no necesary tools.

Anyhow, if there's one general purpose tool that predates the web and will probably be around when it's replaced by some other content publishing standard, it's Emacs. You could do a lot with a minimal SSG in Emacs and Org Mode, and it would be forward compatible with whatever is in the future, as well as backward compatible to whatever you like.

This post appears to assume that github pages will never have any vulnerabilities ever and will always be available.

Combine your static site with intercooler.js or Htmx.

Sure, but all the problems come from the server side. You could suffer data corruption, power outage, domain name theft, whatever. I agree css and html is great but the author made this post specifically to feel superior about his theoretically perfect website, and i figure it's my job to inform him it's not theoretically perfect.
