I get it, to some extent. I serve one of my sites with my own web server. I detest using programs that drag in zillions of dependencies over which you have no control, and every modern web server does exactly that.
That said, compiling your web content into your server? That's a step too far. Data and the application that process that data are two very different things, and (imho) should remain separate.
