I see these kind of comments pop up and as a long time backend/full-stack dev I don't follow the logic all too well. HTMX is just another tool to be deployed.

If your app requires a SPA experience or large amounts of javascript for the UI, its not the right tool for the job. Where I have had great experience with it is for applications that have discrete javascript implementations or none. Lot's of applications that are quite valuable to the end user, are really just a bunch of CRUD like operations and don't really need a full blown FE framework.
