It doesn't take a lot of consideration to arrive at the conclusion "modern = good", but I assure you, it's not imperative nor plainly better to make everything into a bundled js webapp. The boilerplate code for basic web apps often dwarfs the actual content of a basic web page. You could also make the argument that many things designed as web apps have no business running in a browser and should be written as standalone applications, but what's "best" in some sense isn't always the most pragmatic thing.
