I'm saying that for most uses of most sites, the fact that Angular (or similar) is running in the user's browser is making the user experience worse. Performance is worse, accessibility can be worse, and so forth. And (again, for most uses of most sites) there is no benefit to the end user. Consider the blogs, brochureware sites, landing pages, and e-commerce product pages that absolutely don't need something like Angular that today nonetheless do include it. Most Web apps are much closer to those than to Google Earth, Facebook, or Spotify's Web player.
