Fact: NodeJS's never-standardized APIs that change from release to release are a source of non-negligile breakage and churn for JS programmers who make the mistake of entrusting it to run their programs.
Fact: for a great many programs, NodeJS isn't even necessary to provide the operations that a given program needs in order to do its work, because there exist standardized, vendor-neutral, cross-platform, stable APIs, with broad sort by such companies as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, etc.
Fact: the runtimes that support these APIs are already pre-installed on virtually every desktop and laptop computer.
Fact: you could write a static site generator targeting these APIs today and get a working program today and that will continue to work indefinitely, due to these vendors' commitment to backwards compatibility.
