You have a single point of failure and a linux box (and CMS?) that needs to be constantly patched - how is that in any way comparable to the simplicity and scalability of dropping files onto an S3 bucket?

No cms. Nginx serving static files. Not patched or upgraded for years. Still running fine.

Doing anything else than putting cloudflare in front of my nginx is needlessly overhead- because cloudflare scales quite well!
