I agree with this. Yes, ideally, a SPA could be better (i.e why re-send the parts of the app that didn't need to change), but most of these apps are actually way slower -- either because the developers don't know/care beteer, or perhaps more probably, are not given the time to implement the perfect(-ish) solution. A full html page reload isn't much slower than react/redux doing a json fetch, but it may appear so since most of the content doesn't flash, new content comes in with an effect etc. And I agree, this looks more slick.
