SPAs are not about view transitions. TFA implies that fancy transition is important between pages (wrong!) and blames a "CMO" or "brand manager" rather than challenging their own preconceptions and exploring the value an SPA does add:

- excellent frameworks for client side logic (interactivity) - separation of concerns (presentation logic vs. backend) - improved DevEx => inc. speed of development => happiness for all

The sad thing is that an article like this will get plenty of eyeballs due to comments like my own adding to the algo, but it should have never made it above the fold.

It's because it's catchy and repeatable, which really fits with this guy's broader claimed focus (SEO). I found it really ironic because I've built plenty of SPAs without page transitions of any kind (because it wasn't a relevant requirement) and only started adding them because view transitions made them easy.

What does TFA stand for?

		Among others (e.g.: "trans fatty acid"), in this particular case either "today's featured article" or "the f**ing article". I guess the latter.
