You'd do better to take arguments at their merits than resort to ad hominem attacks.
To your point: Yes, Ghost is much more than Hugo / Jekyll will ever be, but then again, most people aren't building a News site to actually want the features Ghost has to offer.
I mean, there's absolutely a market for software like Ghost and WordPress (or they wouldn't exist, especially in WordPress' case they absolutely dominate that market), but if you're the kind to run Ghost with SQLite then may be you should instead give static site generators a look.
There, that was my point: One could pay exactly somewhere in the region of $0 to Netlify and still have that.
