Everyone interested in software development should take a really long look at this. This is unusual. Which is to say, WordPress is a really remarkable software.
There are people out there generating wordpress blogs with slightly different variations on design and text, but almost exclusively the same links. All for SEO.
Any quantitative analysis of software behind websites is garbage because most web sites are generated for SEO.
Consider that WordPress trending no Google has droped slowly in past 5 years[1]. I really wonder how much does its market share the peak (around 2013-2014). Also, how w3techs know/estimate that there's 50% of websites that's doens't use a Content Management?

1. How many tasks Wordpress can perform really well for a non-technical user.
2. How messy, inconsistent and “complex” it for a developer to build the tools that serve those tasks.
That 30% of the web is Wordpress, is a testament to whose needs win at the end...
