Arstechnica runs on WordPress on AWS, and they have a really nice series of articles about it. Sure, you could use just one EC2 instance for everything, but on a high traffic website you would need a bit more.

But how many sites really are high traffic?
That’s the thing with almost all of the cloud stuff: reasonable at scale, but overcomplicated garbage for 95% of the users.

95%? More like 99.999%, considering how many Wordpress sites are there.

There’s a big chunk of sites that have WP running but are mostly just static content, confusingly. If you update the content once a month and disable all comments, maybe another tool could fit better there. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I thought the same thing and tried to do a static site generator for a while, but I just liked the WordPress UI too much for composing and editing vs manually placing my images in an assets folder and remembering the file names to add them in my markdown.
Besides, with a good caching solution, isn’t it effectively the same thing?
