"SPA" is a fine, if difficult, architectural pattern. One needs to make a distinction between the processes and tools, and the pattern itself. SPAs are bad because of how they are built; personally, I blame the rise of front-end build tools for this. When it's easy to add dependency after dependency, then you get a bloated nightmare. Transpilers don't help, either, since they just remove you even further from "bare metal" of the browser, which is itself already at a dizzy height from the bottom. You might say that modern javascript programmers are too high, so to speak.
