Third-party technology categories or the platform

Does the platform explain the third-party technology categories difference?

Almost every site with RUM third-party technology categories is a Wix site, and almost every Wix site has RUM third-party technology categories, so the data can't tell RUM third-party technology categories and Wix apart. On WordPress, 50% of sites with framework third-party technology categories pass all three Core Web Vitals, against 49% of WordPress sites with CDN. Within WordPress, sites with framework and CDN pass all three about equally often.
