I don’t love the analogy but I understand the point being made. That said, I might agree with something like microservices or k8s adding a lot of overhead, but at this point, I don’t really agree with single page apps being in the same category. Someone who is comfortable with React can spin up and deploy an app within minutes. The hosting infrastructure is basically the same as deploying vanilla HTML, the hard parts are abstracted away and the vast majority of issues you’ll come across have been solved before on some web forum. This doesn’t mean you can’t write bad react, but for most use cases, it’s not any harder than writing pure html/css/js (and id argue that the popularity of React is due to it being much easier).
