> chlorine gas can be stored in a garage in coke bottles
I get the point you're trying to make but you absolutely can't store chlorine gas safely in your garage in a coke bottle. If you try doing this as a business, you'll get shut down hard and possibly some prison time too.
On the other hand, WordPress is a valid solution for a huge number of businesses. Perhaps the previous commentor should have labored their point and noted that the engineer's skill is required to know when WordPress is a valid option, and also just as importantly, when it's not.
But suggesting the use of WordPress is in no way comparable to doing something illegal like storing chlorine gas improperly.
A better comparison would be to using an off the shelf chlorine storage system versus developing your own. For most companies, off the shelf will be the right choice, but others are doing complex things that require them to develop their own systems.
I have a fairly obscure domain that gets absolutely bombarded by wordpress related scans. This tells me two things: wp seems pretty easy to misconfigure, and a lot of scripts are looking for these misconfigurations. Based solely on that I would never recommend it to a tech-naive business.
