A page builder gives you a page.
An industry needs more.
Wix and Squarespace make good-looking sites for anything. That generality is the problem: nothing arrives knowing how your industry works.
Design without a designer
You drag blocks and it looks presentable. For a five-section brochure site, that is enough and it is fast.
Total layout freedom
You can put anything anywhere. That is the appeal, and also why six months later the site no longer looks like itself.
Cheap to keep
A small monthly fee and done. If the site is a business card touched once a year, that is plenty.
Court bookings, tournaments, rankings
A club needs a schedule, deposit payments and a tournament bracket. In a page builder that is a form and a spreadsheet; here it is a module that already works.
Advertising that sells and measures
A newspaper lives on its banners: slots, dates, viewable impressions, and a proposal to send the advertiser. No page builder ships that.
Company profiles that fill themselves
In a directory, each company edits its own profile through a link. In a page builder, every change comes back to you.
And the management panel
Customers, suppliers, quotes, payments and social assets. That half is not a missing template: it is a different product.

Can I build a digital newspaper on Wix?
You can publish articles, yes. What you will not have is the newspaper business: ad slots with dates and measurement, advertiser proposals, your own newsletter and social assets. That is not a template question, it is a whole system around the article.
When is Wix or Squarespace enough?
When the site is a shopfront: who you are, what you do, how to reach you. If nobody has to book, buy, publish or get paid through it, a page builder is plenty and paying more makes no sense.
