This is aimed at people who lack the ability to do that. Lots of not so technical people that operate small websites that don't employ developers.

If you know what you are doing, making websites is easy. But most people don't and that's why things like wordpress, squarespace, webflow, tumblr, medium, substack, etc. exist.
