In my blog, comments are not supported, and it would be easy to add if I developed my own blog with Django. But I feel that this single feature does not overweight the simplicity and velocity I have with such setup.
In regards to the requirement to know Git: It is just necessary in the setup phase, the blog posts creation and edition are controlled through Netlify CMS for me.
Also, for a company blog, an SSG likely means a requirement to know Git, which could be inconvenient.
