It was an amazing shift in priorities that I feel like I somehow missed the discussion for. We went from being worried about hiding content with CSS to sending nothing but script tags in the document body within 5 years or so. The only concern we had when making the change seemed to be "but can Google read it?". When the answer to that became "Uh maybe" we jumped the shark. My bashful take is that nobody told the rest of the web development world that they aren't Facebook, and they don't need Facebook like technology. So everyone is serving React apps hosted on AWS microservices filled in by GraphQL requests in order to render you a blog article. I am being hyperbolic of course, but I was taken completely off guard by how quickly we ditched years of best practices in favour of a few JS UI libraries.
