I agree with you.
I'm trying to build sites in plain html, css and maybe javascript or Jquery, this is for those sites that only where updated ones a month or even in six months, you don't need a full Wordpress install, maybe a json file, an ajax request and thats it.
Those are fancy tools, yes, helps a lot in some cases, but not always.
BTW , ColdFusion, nice language and you are old like me !!!

I'm saying Wordpress as an example because is one of the most common, but could be Laravel or any other Node o JS framework.

Yup, you need to write down project requirements and weigh how much value each dependency brings in or takes away. Those may look like minor details at the beginning, but they multiply exponentially.
