The leap from static HTML to PHP misses a big chunk of dynamic web site growth that started to produce a lot of the bad patterns that lived on. As simple and nice as static HTML is, it's inefficient. The reason we care about this now is mostly: A) A lot of people just hate Javascript. And a lot of that hate is understandable. B) People still worry about the crawlability of their SPAs JS has a lot of problems but it's also fixing some of these by growing really fast (paradoxically, also one of its problems). Bots will get more comprehensively better at rendering client-side only apps.
