Exactly.
- The author is describing hypertext, which is perfectly fine for textual static content, one of the key goals for which the World Wide Web was conceived.
- Server-side generation of HTML seems totally out of place for other use cases: HTML/JS are now the assembly languages of the web and they belong in the browser. Besides a more distributed architecture is just perfect: server and client focus on what they do best.
- Fixing web-apps with broken history buttons and unlinkable urls is important, but to be honest there are fewer and fewer SPAs that are mono-url these days. And it's perfectly fine to have a unlinkable "Delete this Invoice" app button. If it's not real content it should not be a link.
