"[each click] takes 2 seconds to load"
In about 95% of the SPAs I've tried, each click takes even longer than that.
"you never poll for updates"
Yes, because apparently AJAX/AJAJ is completely nonexistent and there's absolutely zero ground between "pure-HTML like it's 1991" and "VueWangulaReact.js single-page monstrosity".
Hell, even a meta-refresh will fix that if you really do want "pure-HTML like it's 1991", though that's certainly inelegant.
