"the author is encouraging the conversion of traditional web pages to single-page web applications, which means that users would now have to download actual software to use the website rather than using the software that they already have and trust: their web browser."

You mean sort of like every web page that uses javascript?

I agree, that is alarming. Unfortunately, the horse on that has long ago run out of that stable, and most people don't seeem to care.

Some web pages can still function okay without JavaScript enabled, or you can find a way to work around it. Maybe there's even a Greasemonkey script for it.

But it's increasingly more difficult.

As is the case with many things, but the fight doesn't end there.
