I wonder how hard it would be to convince folks to drop their expensive setups in favor of nearly $0 static sites, as well as how much up front cost they'd be willing to shovel out for the transition. S3 + CDN (+ Lambdas optionally) feels really ready to me for almost any straightforward "website." For most things GitHub/Lab pages is an easy path to that.

A lot of folks who have static websites aren't technical and invested thousands of dollars for a WP website. If their site already runs, you wouldn't be providing anything.

...unless they have to pay noticeable money for WP hosting due to serious load, or were bitten by security problems.

A free business idea: write a converter from WP to Jekyll (or Hugo) that converts 95% of a typical WP site right, sell total conversion services, maybe reselling hosting, too.
