It's justified if you run a web app that needs to maintain complex state between clicks, such as a text/graphical editor.

I don't think anyone disputes that. Maintaining a whole editor state in server side sessions or re-rendering everything from localStorage would be rather silly indeed. This is about changing pages, such as Github annoyingly does when browsing a repository.
