I have used wordpress sites, but not wordpress.com. It is pretty good, and easy to get up and running. I have a half developed site, but
decided to just go with plain HTML and CSS.

There's a package called Blosxsom that had promise - you leave text
files in a directory on a web server and Blosxom formats it, adds
headers/footers/sidebars/styles.

I like that idea.

I know there are a ton of static web page generators, WP is typically
overkill for most.

It would be nice for people to get back to publishing their own
content again, although if you're looking to get your writing seen,
you're better off on Medium or Substack.

It worries me that as things get more centralised, it would give these people who hold the keys more power to gatekeep. If substack is taken over or capture by ideologues, a real threat for anything in a Western, especially American country, then authors and views will be made to dissapear.

Or, more subtly, political and ideological views that don't fit in
with a perspective that the company running the site wants, either for political gain or profit, get buried, and you run into the
"manipulated feed" scenario we're in with Facebook.
