Yes, that's a good point. Using NodeJS for tooling in no way means that you need to deploy to production on a NodeJS server. You can deploy to whatever static hosting platform you desire (Firebase, Apache, Nginx, etc) or deploy in .NET, Java, RoR, or other web containers.
The Angular CLI will bundle things up for you as a static website which can be deployed in whatever way you see fit.
