Oh, so when I make an .html file in Dreamweaver WYSIWYG HTML editor and save the .html file to my websever ~/www/ dir it is automatically not a static page anymore because I used a program to generate it? This is a very wild and weird interpretation of 'static site' that does not fit with existing usage.

You are the last person to have a say in that considering your incorrect take that JS can't be static. You're clearly misaligned with common usage of terms.
When javascript started being able to change HTML significantly the result was literally named "Dynamic HTML". So it is clear this is not a static HTML page. The only thing left to argue is weather it is a static web site. People who got into web dev after 2010 will say yes, people who watched HTML/JS evolve over it's lifetime will say no.
