Like you said, "major publishers" will have those problems due to custom code. Not the sort of websites where Wix or Squarespace would have ever even entered the conversation. You need to keep context in mind.

And not so major publishers, including hundreds, if not thousands in the top 10,000 sites. So it isn't just the Washington Post, et al. This is why I intervene on generalized advice to enable auto-updates on WordPress. I have seen it cause publishers a ton of money, and have lost a number of weekends when called in to perform damage limitation.
'Make sure you keep everything updated!' has a ton of caveats and pitfalls, that's just the reality.
