That sounds scary considering the fact that Wordpress security flaws make it "remote system administration tool" first, and blog platform second.
It's not that surprising to be honest. WordPress' success comes down to the following: 1. It was simple to use in an era where CMS meant 'large, complicated system that was tailored towards technies rather than the general population'. It didn't have a ton of features, but it was easy to use for the average blogger wanting to write posts without worrying about all the setup and coding and what not. 2. You could prett…
Of course, there is pythonanywhere or you might want to use PAAS like Heroku, but I find it interesting non the less. Is it so much more work for shared hosting providers to provide Python?
Any consultants on here that have to deliver/maintain WordPress sites? If so, mind sharing what your basic workflow is? There are many articles on the web, but they are mostly for very entry level users. The fundamental problem my company runs into with WP is that only a theme can be meaningfully checked into version control. Everything else, including installation of plugins is coupled with entries in the database.…
A plugin will usually set some entries on installation (then add its work data as well)
But yeah, I believe there's an interesting void of supporting tools for WP (it needs to be DevOps'd)
One wonders what the world would look like if Google hadn't dropped the ball on Blogger.
The total economic activity attributable to WordPress must be staggering. How many small businesses use it? How many consultants and design firms? Even the business of creating WordPress themes must be very significant.
It is, lots of people make full-time livings doing it, and even have entire companies set up to do it.

I agree with your points, but always wonder why shared hosting is often PHP/MySQL only. E.g. if you are using Python, say Django or Flask, and want to outsource your devops (i.e. shared hosting) you do not have many options. Of course, there is pythonanywhere or you might want to use PAAS like Heroku, but I find it interesting non the less. Is it so much more work for shared hosting providers to provide Python?
