#2In this age where the trend is JAM stack, it is refreshing to see that something battle-tested like WordPress was chosen.
There's a reason WP has withstood the test of time. (WordPress developers being a dime a dozen also help make the case)

#3> Political affiliations aside, I think we can all breathe a bit easier today knowing they didn’t choose Drupal.
Strongly disagree. Drupal is a great CMS and there's a reason the government uses it so extensively.

#4I hope we again see the value of using systems like Wordpress for it’s simplicity in getting a blog/website setup and easily modify content.
Lately most of the modern marketing websites I see is built using gatsby and next.js. Having been talking to different content/marketing teams, they hate it so much because of the complexity it brings. Editing content? Sign in to this headless CRM app, want a form? Go sign in to another app. It might be a fun project for devs but the actual users if these systems will almost always have a hard time using it.

That reason might be familiarity. Or inertia. Or breadth of available resources to work with it, as you mentioned.
Or all of the above. And that might be a good enough reason, but to imply it's the best technical option warrants some skepticism.

This kind of elitist rhetoric is really not constructive. Implying somehow that WordPress developers aren't "talented" because they don't use your tech stack is incredibly ignorant.
