Yes absolutely. By the loss of the founding principles and freedoms of your country using technology as an end run.

They'd racially profile you too, and maybe ICE will arrive and deport you. You won't get any 4th amendment, show me the body or similar "magna carta" protections, or even Miranda.

A good removalist will come and quote and figure it all out. They'll discuss what you need to do to protect things and who will do it. You pay on delivery so at least there is the option to not pay.
Any company that subcontracts as a surprise is shit. My MO now is if I get a surprise subby for any job, from coding to paving to moving I am going to tell them to fuck off. It ain't a good sign.

A house is way more durable. My house is older than all software and I expect it to outlive most software written (either today or ever). Except voyager perhaps!

Most of a chefs meals are now poo. Memories of those meals survive but eventually they will fade too.
There is a lot of value in being the stepping stone to tomorrow. Not everyone builds a pyramid.

Why do some religions say don't eat beef or pork? Some religions care about how you kill the animal. How is this convenient?

This writer doesn't look obnoxious to me they make good points. Of course they make good points only for their use case. I'd rather keep computers as a thing and have all the medical advances, plane safety, science advances we have seen. I also couldn't do what I first did on a computer with a pencil: program an automaton. But it is worth reading other points of view and seeing their side.

You somehow can't apply logical statements to what we choose to kill and eat. Cultures differ on their opinions here. But at some extreme we should all be vegan.

There are cache plugins that effectively turn it into a static site. You could also run CF atop of it.
WordPress is used at scale by many companies.

Does the state have any power. In Australia I think the state has power to generally zone things e.g. near a train station is high density and it is out of councils hands much to their chagrin.

I'm more of a WordPress guy. Click "install wordpress". When I need something I add a plugin. No code required.
