It depends. Some have moved to static site generators like Jekyll, Nanoc, Wyam. You "compile" the site on your development machine, and then just push a bunch of static files to a server. It's faster and cheaper, but you lose some flexibility.

Others have moved to "headless CMSs", where the CMS is only an administrative backend for publishing articles, and provides an API to access them, but the "frontend" is just a custom site you write.

Both approaches are more lightweight and less prone to security issues.

TL;DR: I think it has kind of bifurcated. I'm not sure traditional CMSs are as big as they were in the 2000s.
