I think for probably more than half of all websites out there, something like LAMP is either the optimal, or very close to the optimal solution. It's absolutely bonkers to me what kinds of tech stacks people use to render what essentially amounts to a bunch of forms.
At least half of all websites would probably be better of if their creators realised they needed something closer to a 'blog' than a 'web app'. It's especially true when it comes to the media industry, who seem to love creating the most over engineered SPAs possible for functionality that's barely changed since the 90s.
