IMHO, the attraction for me has always been *simplicity*. Got some Markdown documents? Drop them in a directory and go. WordPress, et al. are actually horribly complex beasts. I need to worry about databases, interpreted languages like PHP, multiple login points (server, DB, web app). That's *a lot* of attack surface.

I think I'd disagree with SSGs being a more complicated ecosystem than WordPress. The Jamstack list is equivalent to listing out WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, etc. - essentially different ecosystems. A more accurate comparison would be looking at WordPress + plugins + hosts vs. Jekyll + plugins + hosting, for example.
