Not trying to offend any WordPress lovers 😅 As for a headless CMS, many competitors like Prismic, NetlifyCMS, Contentful, etc. are free or come with a free tier (no need to set up your own server). So, for people on a budget and that don't have their own server, having to host WordPress separately might be a drawback and a reason why you would go for a different option.

But if you install it on your own server - there are no limitations I guess. I've never been a WordPress fanboy, so I was hoping to see decoupled Drupal on the list.

Thanks for your feedback. Great article!
