Maybe, but I tend to look for the ways that I can integrate the business into the site and vice versa. Unity. Otherwise, it seems the site is always out of date amongst other things. So far, I have found Drupal extremely suitable for satisfying that requirement very easily. IMO Every business should constantly look for new ways to engage their online customers.
Drupal is definitely not the only choice and isn't the best choice for everything, but I certainly wouldn't rule it out for very basic websites either. :)

Right.
In the business-to-business world, 99% of the time, all anybody wants from a web site is a quick way to check out a potential vendor. For professional services firms, that translates to bios, customer referrals, case studies, and reprints of journal papers. For product firms, that translates to product specsheets and documentation, and maybe downloads. And, of course, contact info.
By and large, investing in anything more may be good for developers, but doesn't have a particularly good ROI.
For most business purposes, the KISS principle still applies. For that matter, the KISS principle applies to most purposes (Case in point: google's interface).
