Oh, they are, but they're drowned out by "look at this create-react-app hackathon project I made! VCs pls give me a series A thx". Alas, the web is now a profit engine first.

A create-react-app hackathon project is absolutely a valid instance of "putting up websites for fun."

I agree with you. I believe that having fun is subjective. I've actually done both things mentioned for fun. I also had the bonus fun of learning a new thing to boot.
