Simply put – if you have an online business you will not chance your luck by tempering with the basis of your online business by yourself. But, there are online businesses that do not bring income – there are even ones not intended for any type of profit, such as question & answer websites or blogs. These websites, just like the ones brining big profit, require management. WordPress has fantastic add-on, plugins and setup in general in which everyone can find something for their website.
As such, many WordPress websites are managed by the owners themselves, who are not necessarily proficient in website management.
