People do realize that, which is why such frameworks have first appeared decades ago. It's just that you can't fully paper over the network gap and pretend that it doesn't exist; eventually, the abstraction leaks.

Have they? I assume you are talking about PHP, which is not that kind of framework, because you would still have to write JavaScript. It lacks type safety too.
I'm talking about stuff like GWT from 2006.
Wow, I had no idea that existed. It looks like it is a Java library that abstracts over the web, and generates JavaScript under the hood? I never touched GWT, but it does sound like there would be issues if you wanted to do something that's not supported by the framework. But still, I don't think this is the same as modern full stack frameworks.
