Yes! There are an awful lot of web sites out there--including the one we're on right now--which are, well, web sites, not web apps.
I have a strong suspicion this conflation comes from reasoning kind of like this:
(1) My web site would benefit from some kind of API.
(2) Hey, if it has an API, wouldn't it be simpler if it just had an API, and all interaction was through clients?
(3) So, [insert JavaScript framework] to the rescue! It'll be just like the original web site, but better!
Except that it isn't automatically "better" for either performance or usability. Content-focused sites tend to perform very well using the server-side model.
