I was one of them. I won't do it now. Security threats have become so time consuming nowadays to handle.
A static website on a simple shared host isn't really an issue security wise, and even WordPress has become much better in that regard as it has automatic unattended upgrades these days.
The problems are bots spamming, or attacking to gather PI. Too much effort. We can't have nice things anymore
