Oh, there are never no dependencies. I do host from a NAS in my living room, but I rely on DDNS service, the local ISP, etc.
Jekyll is relatively complex, and sometimes I do wonder if I should move my blog to something with less barrier to update.
What I meant for a non-blog static site was that it's much simpler to write some basic HTML/CSS than to run a static site generator, and a relative beginner can write a basic page and upload to a web host.

I agree that hosted services are much better for most bloggers, and that a key point is having the portability of a personal domain name and data portability.
I know that "regular" people are not going to do most of the weird things that I choose to do, so I go around testing web hosts and whatnot for beginners.
