I know it's 5 years old, but I still don't see why it's been so crucial to have kept migrating to "new technologies"?

It lets me upgrade the application piecewise. For example I have pages that are just PHP/HTML, and some that are rendered with Node/React, and the site works seamlessly together (seamless sessions and everything).

Are there any perspectives you can share with respect to SEO and client-side React?

"Build one to throw away"? As the business evolves, the needs evolve, and it may be appropriate for the tech to evolve.

It's less a fault of choosing the wrong tech stack to begin with and more a virtue of prototyping quickly.

It's not "migrating to" that is the driving force, it's the you have to "migrate from" that is the driving force. Don't get stuck on old tech.

That doesn't really answer the "why."
