I would honestly be interested in what the author(s) consider to be the advantage of such a setup over things like for example GitHub Pages, Netlify, S3 + Cloudfront, a plain Apache Server?

There is a note near the beginning:

"The goal of this tutorial is not to show you that you need a Kubernetes cluster to run a static website, it’s to show what can be done with OpenFaaS and Kubernetes."

I don't think it is being advocated that you should make this switch, just an informative article showing the steps required to do so.

I use nginx + static html. I deliberately kept it as simple as possible. I wouldn't follow this tutorial unless it was for the purpose of learning how to use Kubernetes and even then, there are probably better tutorials.
