Servers are cheap and computers are fast. This site appears to be hosted on Neocities: a platform with a generous free tier that doesn't profit off user data.
Cheap is not free. People are putting in the work on Neocities to make sure the platform stays up, reachable, and free of abuse. There's regular stories of open-source maintainers burning out due to the support burden. If you're not paying for the service, then the service owners will raise money some other way or stop offering the service. Today, that way is ads and data mining.
If you are operating a small website, sure. Most business aren’t. How does Neocities earn money if no one is footing the bill? Free tiers are a marketing strategy, not a business model.
There really is no reason businesses need to run colossal bloated websites. That's mostly the result of technical ignorance from business owners. No ignorance is inevitable.
If your business is growing beyond Neocities, then you're likely profitable enough to pay for a $5 WordPress VPS.
