Key word: “many applications”, and I would be more specific to say many CRUD applications, but definitely not all web applications, there are so many cases that SSR is the worst choice, in my field, we do robotics/IoT/edge computing/etc., at the edge, most likely you will have an SBC with not so much resources (or resources you would like to save and use for edge computing like computer vision and such) to use to prerender a webUI for the user, one of the platforms I built it uses Cesium and WASM and the same time to control a swarm of drones, each SBC in there (and server) does the minimum load to serve some API requests while saving the rest for video/vision processing, while shouldering the rest to user’s machine. SSR might make sense for data centers building your average CRUD webapp but definitely not all.
