It's just an example. I would never say anything is never a good idea... there just needs to be specific conditions that would require it. Hypothetically simple scenario could be running WP as user management, and i18n translations, for a single page application. For the most part, I can imagine a node.js application layer that simply interfaces with wordpress api in the back. WP can be upgraded as and when needed, and the frontend application isn't tied down by clumsy php templating. A separate api with oauth and token authorization could be layered on top for mobile applications. This is looking towards making wp more open to developers in other ecosystems (an area which is considerably lacking other places like .Net. Umbraco? Sharepoint? ew)
