The issue isn't the HTML it renders, it's finding a hosting provider that supports running it server-side.

Of course you could run it yourself, but maintaining a server for a basic blog or personal site arguably exits the realm of "simple."

For a blog or personal site (that didn't have any functionality that really needed a back end) I suppose you could just scrape the generated pages and push them up to any host, but CF seems like a fairly awkward static site generator compared to the usual suspects like Jekyll, Hugo, etc.
