It's interesting to hear varying takes on this. But my personal belief is that web apps are moving towards static sites that are cache-friendly and offline-ready. This for couple of reasons, first is easy integration with CDN. Second is easy integration with webviews for mobile apps. And easiest way to implement offlineness so far has been through a state management library. Doesn't mean that doing what the article suggests, moving logic to server, is impossible but it's quite a pain. Much easier is to move logic to client and handling it there. Moreover, the fact there's so many UI components and libraries available for React and so forth, makes developing much faster. Depends on the developer, of course (and I personally prefer Svelte), but is a rather big advantage if you are doing anything complex in UI.
