Because the line one draws is "no server-side code at all". If you use a bit of code for that, you might as well use a bit for this, and for the other thing, and soon it's a CMS.

Besides, the hosts I want to deploy on don't have PHP (S3, stock nginx, Github pages).

Fair enough.

I switched our team's website to a completely static site a few years ago, they were using joomla (vomit) for essentially a broucher site that changed once a quarter.

I wonder if there would be a place for a 'json search as a service' thing - where you could upload your static content (as markdown, rst, txt, whatever) and then use their servers for full text queries which return a json list of matching page URLs and titles...
