I'd argue the opposite point, the problem with static websites is that they were bad at capturing state. That is what lead to the bloat of JQuery messes in websites and inefficient parsing of the HTML tree. Now that developers have so many platforms to target in so many ways, having a consistent way of state to permeate through websites reduces work.

Don't take me wrong, I love crafting my website 20kb of CSS over static files. Always sign me up for a static site, but for complex websites, where interactivty and state are needed, it's important to have these frameworks.
