Another upside is the number of folks who can help a client maintain and update a WordPress site. They typically don't want to pay a full stack developer to perform menial tasks. There's a pool of less expensive talent to choose from for that sort of, day to day, thing.

I totally see that. There are an abundance of local wordpress developers that can offer that sort of service.
On the flipside, I suppose that any menial updates etc. should be able to be done inhouse anyway, that is ideal scenario of a content management system?

Probably. I find that a lot of my clients opt to hire "web designers" who then install page builders like Elementor and go to town on the site. While the core of the theme I build is typically still there a lot of it is masked by what they do "in-house". 🙂

There is nothing worse than seeing something you worked hard on be butchered by users, I suppose it is the nature of the job. I'm usually quite strict with what things I allow the client to change now. :/
