You are full of superlatives but short on arguments.
As the number of pages you load tends to infinity, this might be true. In practice, loading a couple of 3KB pages is much better than loading a couple of 1KB data blobs plus a 500KB JavaScript app bundle. It is also more memory-friendly, more compatible, and better for SEO.
As for wasteful of bandwidth... how big can HTML get? Is the bulk of your bandwidth cost really taken by HTML?
