It's more not wanting to use virtual DOM and only wanting to render to strings for SSR. For example if I use useState or onClick handlers inside the JSX template, now I'll have to handle both client and server side code at the same time, which I want to avoid. If I only render a string from my JSX templates, I can separate all client side logic to Alpine. Easier to test and less overhead.
