For me: it's less to manage, it's less to learn (AWS is a nightmare from my perspective), and I enjoy other benefits like the fact that one codebase can generate and then serve up the site, and the fact that it's vendor-agnostic (just clone/npm install/run). Also allows easy customization of headers and redirects, allows for the odd dynamic route, and makes local dev/previewing super simple

OP may or may not feel the same! Just wanted to communicate that a simple server can definitely do the job
