I excluded plugins because additive functionality and ecosystem are independent of the core product, but yes Wordpress (and server-side apps) can be extended to do much more than a plugin in a static build process.

Evaluating WordPress without its plugin ecosystem is like evaluating Linux or github or node.js without its developer ecosystem. Of course the bare platform will be worth a lot less without the social networking effect and the diverse applications it supports.

The comparison is the simplicity of Wordpress/server-based vs Gatsby/frontend frameworks to get a working site. The ecosystem is a separate concern.
