Your reply really made me think - you are absolutely correct about traffic not being the end all and be all measure of successful content. Thank you for pulling me out of the echo chamber. :)
It isn't just about guiding passive users through content, though. My comment was motivated by a little dilemma that I have been wrestling with:
I'm building a search engine and have written the first version as a React app. I've been wondering if we shouldn't switch to a more traditional web page structure.
Drew's post made me realize that I want to give my users - not passive - an application experience so it's okay to stick with the current setup.

I love using the web applications that I do use. I think we just need to take a hard look at what should be an application and what shouldn't, especially given the target audience. Having SPAs with infinite scroll to display a blog post really is just unnecessary.
