I agree with you SSR is an optimization but I wouldn’t call it a fad. Take a page that is static for 99% or even 100% of all users—it wouldn’t make sense to have distributed rendering at scale by each client. Instead SSR allows the server to render once and then just serve from the cache. Not only does it speed up the page for the user it saves energy. So I would classify it as a fundamental optimization here to stay.
