That's true. But that's only really a concert if you're building an SPA. If you're not, having multiple pages is generally faster than running some js framework to reload parts of the page. Plus that you get the benefit of every state combination having it's own URL. You don't need to write any custom state reconstruction code.
This was the original design of REST as applied to the web. It was explicitly designed in such a way that it was forbidden to reload parts of the page. This makes it so that every state has it's own URL and you therefore can link to every state. Deep linking if you wish, for all of the web.
