I'm not sure I understand this, is your argument that there are responsive web apps that are not SPAs? I would agree that they exist but are not solving the same problems. Also, what's wrong with the client-side paradigm other than that it's old? The only thing I'm really missing out on is SEO which doesn't matter in a lot of domains.

Yes, there are apps that are very responsive that are not SPAs. They are solving many of the problems traditional web applications have. DHH has written extensively on techniques for building them, and I have written a library for building them as well. There are many problems with the client-side paradigm: security, API churn, we lose Rest/HATEOAS, complexity, etc. That's not to say that the client side paradigm is always the wrong choice, it has its strengths as well, but it is rather to say that making it the default choice, without considering the problem at hand, is foolish.
