If you need to pin your content anyway, it's actually faster and less expensive to host a normal website then. And if you want to get it to readers faster, there are a lot a cheap or free CDN available, but that's generally not even an issue with the kind of website we're talking about here when they're served normally, over the web.

Yes, that is the state of affairs now. I can use cloudfront for my site, but cannot use it to pin my ipfs site (should I have one) as far as I know.

You are fighting a strawman. If you don't take of your site, but expect others to take care of it (pin it), then it is not your site. You must ensure it has at least one pinned version. Others might o might not pin it, it depends on the popularity, or the accessibility of the stack, which is lacking right now according to the article.
