Static sites with things like CGI "endpoints" were a thing back in the day. There's no need for URLs to have a 1:1 mapping to the filesystem, you can have a half static and half dynamic site if needed.

Yeah, but then it's not static anymore. Your hosting options change, your threat model changes, it's a whole different game.

I've been thinking about this, and I do think it's a great form of degradation. I would love to see more sites that are statically rendered, but under load dynamic features are removed.
