Personally, i agree with many of the claimed benefits of server side rendering or focusing on static content. In my opinion, a web that would be closer to linked documents of the old days and would also use regular forms more liberally would probably be far more simpler and user friendly, than the bloated and highly interactive sites that we see nowadays. A lot of what we see today is simply chasing towards new trends that have been set by few of the giants of industry, dragging the rest of the market behind them and affecting hireability of those who know or don't know how to utilize these technologies. Not every site needs React, Angular, Vue, however at the same time there's also something to be said about how those don't make you run into some of the problems with stale state or every integration having its own mechanisms to tackle those problems, that jQuery had in the instances where you actually wanted dynamic sites. Regardless, i still think that far too many websites are dragged along and coaxed into using those technologies, which, when combined with ads, analytics and numerous other scripts as well as various design elements can lead to those sites being far too heavy for my liking.
