Agreed, and then they throw this out there.

"... we also need tools specifically optimised for building single-tenant
web applications ..."

I think part of the problem of the web these days is that everything seems
to want to be an application.  The small web really can (should?) just be a
folder with some files and a web server.  It worked for the first 25 years.

As a side question since I just noticed -- why does their smallweb static

is their audience?
