React wasn’t designed for SPAs. It was, in fact, originally derived from server-side technology. And whatever criticism is due both Next and RSC, solving “React for websites” isn’t one of them. Both are targeting highly dynamic web applications in which both the server and the client are implicated in that dynamism—and in which a high degree of sharing between them is beneficial.
You might also object to that being a problem which should exist, but it’s a distinctly different problem to discuss. And in discussing it, the “React to build websites”criticism is mostly meaningless.
