While WP is not my first choice, it's also not good to give binary answers as the only factual options.

There will be lots strapi and astro or whatever preference/interpretation we have personally can't do.

It's always "in most cases". I simply don't see space for WordPress on green field sites anymore. If something is so small it does not require CMS - it's better to use pure HTML. Otherwise "in most cases" it's better to use headless CMS.

Do you work with non-technical users? There are few (none that I'm actually aware of) static site generators that are friendly enough for a comms team in a large enterprise for example. I note that Strapi also puts key features such as SSO behind an Enterprise pay wall... so that's already a massive negative.

WordPress has it's place, a blanket no against one of the most popular CMSes on the Internet is a pretty hot take.

That's understandable, but diy not the default place of the majority.
