This is great.
Agree. SPAs for everything is ridiculous.
My opinion below.
1. The web was designed for content. Thus...
2. If a site is content focused, no need for a SPA. The web already works for it as is.
3. If a web app is a forms based application, still probably no need for a SPA. (The web was designed to support forms almost from the beginning.)
4. If a web app has complex user interactions (e.g. drag and drop, etc. Think, word processor, photo editing, etc.) on a "Single Page". Or jumping between different views of the same data from a single page. Then, logically, that is a real single page application! And a SPA fits the use case.
Otherwise, a SPA is too much engineering to solve a trivial software engineering problem.
Agree with what? OP is no making any point, just a joke.
And if I am to take the joke more serious, it would mean that there is no defense whatsoever for using SPA. It just indefensible. Which is a different argument of ”SPA for everything is ridiculous”.
So either there is no point for you to agree with or you disagree.
