Let's look at the objections "I don't know enough about hosting... I don't want to support hosting clients... We're not big enough to manage hosting because it takes time." All valid points, but each has a reasonable solution. You don't need to know so much about hosting anymore, you certainly don't have to rack your brain and mess up Apache configurations or mess around with MySQL server settings. Get someone who knows about it to do it for you. Many dedicated WordPress hosting services like WP Engine or Flywheel do all the heavy lifting, right down to installing WordPress for you not Cpanel, actually.
They also take care of backups, major WordPress updates, and security. As far as Contact Lists support goes, you don't really have to provide support. If you think about it, you are a developer and the support requirements are between you and the service provider. Your client doesn't need to be involved at the FTP level at all see my point about email below. Regarding the last objection, you don't have time to manage hosting. Well, if you set aside a little time where you add your value, it won't take up a large percentage of your week or month. Read more about this below.
Where do you add your value? Connect your WordPress focused hosting provider to your WordPress management service, such as ManageWP or Infinitewp and that's where you add value. Plugin and theme updates still need to be taken care of, and with tools like this it's relatively painless. And, if you created the site in the first place, are there, so updating them will be easy. Beyond that, take the time to run simple tests on your site backups, perhaps reloading one of your backups regularly to make sure they're working. You use WordPress hosting, but still add your own addons.
