- If I mis-enter information into a form, your error handling forgets all my information and I have to re-enter it.

Even when I was coding web pages in Perl in the 90's I wouldn't do that to a user, that's just mean. You don't need a SPA to provide proper error handling that also rebuilds previous state.

Sadly there is a major e-commerce provider in my niche which does exactly that - routinely forgets all my information.

In fact sometimes their web form just forgets things for no reason.

There is no competitor in sight because of the huge huge SEO juice they have built over 15 years.

Oh, I know, I have a few examples as well, mostly regarding paying bills. Hate those sites but what can I do? I guess I could go back to mailing a check :-)

But it's not THAT inconvenient!
