For ever one real "app" like Figma there are hundreds of web pages with some forms and light interactivity. Numerically there are far more enterprise LoB apps than there are true web applications that SPAs are well suited for.

You claimed "every SPA" app, now its down to "most". I'm not going to argue against the fact that some people have hammers and only see nails.

Every popular technology has been over implemented - these same enterprises probably have a 100-node Spark cluster to process 1GiB of data.

		"Every SPA app I've ever seen". I'm yet to see a fast one. Maybe they exist! I wouldn't know. YouTube, for me, is unfathomably slow. It takes about a minute before I can get a specific song in one of my playlists playing. Every view change is 5-20 seconds, easily. Facebook and the like now show polyfills for 10-30 characters of text, because hundreds of thousands of servers struggle to deliver half a line of text over terabits of fibre uplinks. Meanwhile my 2400 baud modem in the 1990s filled the screen with text faster! Jira famously was so slow that this would never fail to be mentioned here any time it was mentioned. Service Now is better, but still slow for my tastes. Etc... If you disagree, link to me a fast SPA app that you use on a regular basis. PS: Just after writing this, I opened a Medium article, which used -- I assume -- SSR to show me the text of the article quickly, then replaced it with grey polyfills, and then 6 full seconds later it re-rendered... the same static text with a client-side JavaScript SPA app. 100 requests, 7 MB, for 2 KB of plain text.
