"They just don't get it"
Believe me, I get it.
I dealt with building these kinds of features for a full decade before SPAs became fashionable.
Now I'm stuck here watching in frustration as people go all-in on SPAs because they didn't know how to solve these problems without them.
I've also been building these things for a number of decades now. That said, I thoroughly enjoy using the various, modern APIs and standards that have come together to enable single page apps. I'm all for first principles, but which stack are you talking about? The "backend" of the web has been about abstraction for a long time now. Building "these kind of features" has become easier and cheaper on any number of fronts.
