You are using the word _complexity_ in a different sense. The complexity you are talking about is the complexity of developing and building web pages. However, once they are built they are simple static files that can be served from anywhere. As opposed to the complexity mentioned in the parent post, which is the complexity of running a typical web application that includes a backend server and likely a database. Even such plain and commonplace technology as a Wordpress installation has a higher complexity of running than a Gatsby-based site.
