Well, yes.
For all the reasons you stated in your questions!

Plus, WP is open source, which really comes down to people doing whatever
they want. There are few standardizations within the WP system. And people
get burned out working on it for little or no pay, so they eventually give
up and we end up with half-baked themes, widgets, and plug-ins created by
well-intentioned people who don't know jack about accessibility.

Maybe only parts of your website could benefit from the CMS of WordPress,
and the remaining sections could be HTML.
