The incredible amounts of time & money I see teams spending to dig their way out of the Modern Frontend -- the Gordian Webpack, the TTFB-destroyed-by-SSR-that-was-added-"for performance" dance, the staffing needed to just measure how busted it is -- really saddens me
I disagree with the premise. SPA nav *isn't the norm* on most of the apps I see that have bit off on these tools. Might be in your case, but that's the minority in my experience. And nobody is looking at interaction depth to justify these tech choices. *Nobody*.

In the good cases, folks have an editor-style UI that users live in for long sessions. These stacks are a good choice there. The rest of the time...oof.

All the small apps I've seen lately had push/pop state interaction and weren't long-lived like an editor (e.g. tax-calculator/feedback wizard). The old server/client approach doesn't cut it for those for most developers/designs I've seen. I truly wish for a less sad alternative!
