You have a program, WordPress, to create more software, namely your specific website.

Bad example. Wordpress is to create blogs, not webpages (or even webshops). If you use it for anything more, you end up with one of the weekly critical security holes in plugins.

Wordpress makes up like 40% of the Internet depending on the source of the claim. I'm pretty sure it's used for more than just blogs.

Yes, and that's why the security holes in plugins are an issue.

Wordpress has native support for pages.
