I wrote a post on the same thing a year ago. I agree with you all the way. I had a lot of criticism for my post though. It seems those who rely heavily on WordPress for their income struggled with the bitter truth. At the time however, I found it difficult recommend a solid alternative. I haven't tried squarespace personally but I have no doubt it's a worthy alternative. Personally I discovered Webflow and must admit I've never looked back since. I've recommended it to a few others who are also really happy with it.
