At which point did someone force OP to use GH Actions ?

It's fantastic for simple jobs, I use it for my hobbyist projects because I just need 20 to 30 lines to build and deploy a web build.

Just because a bike isn't good for traveling in freezing weather doesn't mean no one should own a bike.

Pick the right tool for the job.

Plus CI/CD is the boring part. I always imagined GH Actions as a quick and somewhat sloppy solution for hobbyist projects.

Not for anything serious.
