To be fair:
There are lots of options for a headless cms - I'm extremely confident that I could easily move my data to another free or super cheap service - even back to a free wordpress site if need be (to use as headless cms).
Also lots of extremely cheap options for free or very cheap hosting of static sites. That would also be an incredibly easy move to make.
Not trying to fanboy
Not saying gatsby is right for every use case and every developer
Am saying that it makes a lot of sense for my specific use case and probably for a lot of this agency and old-school-business-website style work. I suspect it is a very large market that provides decent livelihoods for many millenials that skated, snowboarded, surfed, or played in bands as young adults (kind of serious)
I just wanted to share that as an personal experience that people can weigh against other viewpoints.
