I'm fully convinced that it's time to kill SPAs on 99% of websites and that the community is too defensive on the topic.

It’s because the people that built and maintain the SPAs were beat into submission with the “SSR” bad message. Now people want them to do SSR again.

I agree. SSR that hydrates to an SPA is a pain in the butt and not necessary most of the time. This is why I favor something like Astro for websites... I can drop in a react embed when I need to. It's just a right-tool-for-the-right-job situation imo.

		I absolutely love Astro, and it's my default for new projects. And I honestly feel like it's the only framework using React/Vue for their intended purposes; which is as an interactive layer on top of your SSR UI.

You're kind of already answering your own statement; websites should not be SPAs and vice-versa. Personally I think that an SPA should be something that lives behind a login.
