- Squarespace/Shopify may seem like "website builders", but the bigger play is to manage parts of online business (transactions, reservations, point of sale, etc.), and ultimately everything. "Website builder" is just an entry point.
- Online presences need to manage multiple web properties (i.e. a restaurant = yelp, tripadvisor, facebook, etc.). And lets be real, a restaurant can just redirect their domain to whatever the hottest social platform is (chances are it's going to load faster).
- Websites aren't the only channel anymore.
Website builders are commoditised imho, and have no value as a pure tool.
At this point though, I think Notion may present a better solution going forward.

39. Accenture’s code for the AEM component (the content management system that allows Hertz to create, edit, and change the content on its websites) was seriously flawed as well. The coding and file structure were not based upon the Adobe AEM archetype, which made the application unreliable and difficult to maintain, as well as making future updates challenging and inefficient.
40. Accenture’s Java code did not follow the Java standard, displayed poor logic, and was poorly written and difficult to maintain.
We use Gutenberg extensively with clients (and have for some time), so I don't think that blanket statement is fair. There's been a learning curve but the business value speaks for itself at the end of the day.
Agree with @photomatt's comments.
