Eh. The problems you talk about have little to do with SPAs in general, and have more to do with "rewriting things from A to B". If you had started out with SPAs first and wanted to un-SPA everything, you'd be making the same comments. The issues you mentioned aren't intrinsic to SPAs, they're intrinsic in redoing things.

You're right, but it's also intrinsic to the senselessly shifting paradigm/bandwagon-jumping around SPAs. It's not just that redoing things is a problem, but that the motivation behind the rehaul is poorly conceived.

I think that's how the cookie crumbles, unfortunately. Most companies want to be on the biggest bandwagon to ensure they have a steady supply of fresh, young employees. Few companies want to rely on niche software that only a few people know how to work with. As long as younger people keep jumping onto new trends, companies will continue to follow.
