I agree 100%. Doing everything on the client has its place, but those aren't the type of apps I'm interested in working on. My problem is that for the bulk of web apps out there, a frontend JS framework (I'm sorry I don't have hard data on that but going by experience and the experiences of people I know). The "good fight" I'm referring to is not defaulting to React to build your information app that has very little interactivity. The recent "HTML over the wire" frameworks lean heavily on abstracted away JS to give you a middle ground between SPAs and pure SSR.
