I kind of have to agree here. There are very few times I've ever worked on a SPA and felt like throwing it all away and using the alternative.

The last time I thought about this, which admittedly was many years ago, the alternatives that I knew about were: server-side frameworks like ASP.NET MVC Razor, PHP, RoR templates, Node.js EJS, Jade (now Pug), and static HTML.

Nowadays, you can create extremely elegant and performant SPAs with tools like Next.js and Remix, so I really couldn't agree less to the OP.
