Took me a couple of re-reads to figure they mean the complexity is
what's unnecessary for serving static content. Ambiguous wording, and
maybe misstating what Heroku does or has become?

Heroku is a cloud-based web app platform. It *used* to be a solid
platform for running web apps, CI, etc. Enshittification by Salesforce
is driving Heroku customers away. Sounds like the Rust folks are
jumping on that bandwagon.

Either that, or they realized that writing and maintaining what amounts
to custom web server applications running on someone else's container
platform in order to serve static content is a dumb idea.
