landing on a Wix page is noticeably worse for someone who tries to limit ads and scripting. Everything has to pretty much be off for a Wix page to work, it is very heavy.
I can see how the lack of plugins may make it more secure though. I haven’t tried Wix, but squarespace is pretty good for getting something out the door quickly. It’s quite limited otherwise and the customization of wordpress makes it a very appealing CMS for most.
If WP provides security screens for add-ons and integrates it into their hosting business it would protect their ecosystem moat.
