I tacked that direction after my work with early Angular and React sites 2014-2016. It isn’t that I’d never work on an SPA or a site using front-end frameworks like that, it’s that it became very clear to me quickly that they weren’t necessary or particularly helpful for the majority of the sites they were used on (definitely including the sites I was working on, one of which was thrown away entirely months after we delivered it to the client), and how much adoption was resume driven.
I used to assume React solved genuine problems for FB but given ways in which the UX+performance has gotten worse, I’m not even sure about that.
Meanwhile html plus progressive enhancement works fine for the majority of projects I’ve been involved in. Componentization can still be a win but there’s other ways to do it.
