When I consider the "server-side" argument, I think of it in apples-to-apples comparison: custom code that is either server-side or client-side rendered. Wordpress on the other hand is a packaged application, typically used with other packaged plugins and themes. Moreover, many Wordpress sites are run on anemic shared hosting. Custom applications can as well, but I feel that's far less likely.

"I think of it in apples-to-apples comparison"

That's a restriction in your mind that has nothing to do with the topic.

"Moreover, many Wordpress sites are run on anemic shared hosting."

The same hosting that would be perfectly fine for a static site.
