I could almost agree, but for at least one aspect: 90% or more of today's SPA web apps are just glorified information pages, that do not need any React, Vue, Angular or Svelte. That is where the hype train shows. They could just as well be way simpler in design, and avoid having to reimplement (through a dependency or not) the back button. Many cases for actually multi page apps, that are needlessly implemented as SPA with additional router BS and tons of dependencies and a heavy framework, rather than simply going for server side rendered template and being done with it. This comes mostly pushed by frontend developers, who want their shiny framework of choice to be relevant everywhere. A job guarantee.
