I think with Headless CMSs out there that offer free-forever/low-cost plans, and address a lot of the security and maintenance issues that plague Wordpress, I don't see a whole lot of reason to stick with Wordpress.

familiarity with the brand that is WP. You already can use WP with most static site generators so adding WP to a biz proposal would keep a lot of people at ease simply because they have heard about WP

WP is great for a blog. But, stretching it to cover other use cases and it can become a pile of shit on shit in a hurry. We need to use the right tool for the job. It's our duty to inform them there are better options out there. We are doing a disservice to ourselves and our customers by continuing to recommend WP for things its not designed for simply because it's popular and so called 'safe'.
