Server side rendering is slow and expensive. Wikipedia needs to be fast for all of it's users, and needs to be very cost centric.

Static site generation is very cheap in terms of generation and delivery.

Yes, SSR and static are not the same.

Weird, most of the fastest-feeling sites I use are server-side rendered. Though I doubt they use any JS in that path. Maybe basic html Gmail does but probably it’s Java or something.
