What you describe is solved with GraphQL, which is a very mature technology by now.

  Now we are in the world of graphql, react (and all the other stuff that comes to react), plus the backend server and language. It's a complicated world and I'm not sure we really need that much complexity. There are times when it is needed but I think we've over done it in some cases where we can just have a golang or ruby backend server that renders the page server side. I recently did this and it's a very good feeling just sticking to my server side language that I use daily + html.

    Who are these 'we'? It's all up to personal preference in the end. As Github demonstrates by postponing SPA framework adoption, there are enough companies out there that share your desire to keep things simple.

      We is our industry.

        Our industry is so disorganized that after half a century 'Software Engineer' is still not a recognized profession, and there is just as little interest in unionizing. I lack the audacity to make sweeping judgments about it.
