The mostly same stuff as before, but slightly better. SPAs were a fad that got very popular, but they were generally a poor solution in most cases and as the fad faded, they stopped being as overused.
One of the reasons why SPAs are bad solution is because they interfere with how the web works in significant ways (browser history, caching, server response statuses) and solving those issues without degrading user experience is hard.
When a SPA was actually useful, it was worth spending the time to solve those issues.
The overuse of SPAs means that most of them did not take the time to solve these issues properly so most SPAs sucked (and still do). This is why I don't understand releasing a SPA server in 2024 that doesn't even try to provide tools to solve those issues.
