Its convenient. Not everyone wants to waste their life centering divs you know
Right, because the only alternative to using spaghetti old code is making your own, not using one of the many actively maintained free software.

Among many others you'd easily find if you give up on the hivemind of taking the most popular approach.
Ghost runs on NodeJS which isn’t available at most cheap webhosters. Also it doesn’t do traditional blog things like pingbacks, trackbacks or webmentions.
BearBlog can’t be self-hosted at all - it says so right on their GitHub’s README.
WriteFreely is a Go binary that - again - isn’t supported on most cheap hosters. Also I can’t seem to find anything about it supporting pingbacks, trackbacks or webmentions. It seems to be more like a one-user Mastodon instance.
