We are not talking business of WordPress here, we are talking of the technology. If the technology is too complicated, developers will drop it like bad habit which invariably will have affect the economic of it ( Scarcity, demand, supply, cost) ask drupal, and joomla They both have crazy clean code but their market share is low. Drupal is too complex for average users it can do anything in fact I am always contemplating between drupal and using normal framework for my personal projects, Joomlah I don't like it from day one.

My point is Making billions of dollars is not the point, its how long the party is going to last and survival of the developers skills in the long run, Visual Basic was a billion dollars industry in its Glory days, but where are VB developers today ( don't get me wrong they are still making their money, but unlike its glorious days)

I've played around a bit with WordPress (I don't know much about wix) but I can tell you categorically from a developer point of view that WordPress is horrible!

WordPress actually does what it does best. It's easy to use and install and all that but if you've ever worked with Laravel, Django or Rails you'd know WordPress is shiit!

Sidenote: I am currently learning WordPress theme and plugin development

@Karleb and @tak2hb1 have said my mind, however let me add the following:

When you start viewing every problem as a nail, then you will have to solve every problem with a hammer. WordPress lulls developers into a false sense of progress. WordPress is littered with spaghetti code which is horrible to maintain and test. You are forced to solve all your problems from a WordPress viewpoint.

You are held back from using new, recommended coding standards, and new PHP features because WordPress doesn't readily support such features. Talk about living in the past. Also the reason I stopped using the Codeigniter framework (versions 2 and 3), it never pushed you to use useful things like namespaces and composer.

Learning the basic building blocks (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP) will enable you to understand how those technologies work, and how to optimise them. This knowledge will also let you know when to use a particular tech stack to implement a solution; when to use a framework, and when not to use a framework. There is no one size fits all solution.

Unfortunately for you to be able to use WordPress, you need to learn all of the above

unless you only intend to download and install themes/plugins.
