It's a fine product but it's obsolete in everything from tech to features. It's fine to say there are better options now when that's actually true.

The comparable replacement for Wordpress isn't a static site but something like Ghost: https://ghost.org/

Old and obsolete are not synonymous. WordPress will be obsolete when people no longer find it useful. There is little sign of that happening.

Obsolete is not defined by people finding it useful. In fact I called it a fine product.

But it is outdated and I offered a better alternative as an example of why Wordpress receives so many negative reactions at this point.

Curious, when was the last time you used WordPress? The WordPress editor these days is a React SPA, and the new block editor is a leapfrog over traditional MS Word-style text editors.

What is the suggested ecommerce play for Ghost?

Are you aware WooCommerce is an ecosystem in itself?
