I'm going to ask a dumb question:

Why use React to build a static site? Without interactive elements / dynamic content in a site, what's the benefit that React adds over a static HTML file?

Or am I misunderstanding the definition of "static site" here?

Static in this context means it works entirely client side. So a Wordpress site with a php backend is not static. A next.js site with serverless functions and SSR is not static
