"I love how slow this site is," said no visitor. Ever.

If your clients are like mine, there are likely a lot of things your clients don't ask for. For instance, accessibility. Do we ignore that as well?

You're also not factoring in ongoing maintenance. What's easy for you to build and deploy might be less so for someone else. React, Vue, etc. are great tools - when they are the correct tool for the job - but they are still relatively niche. If you're not taking a "what if I get hit by a bus approach" then you're doing your clients a disservice.

You might want to try being a typical user for a month or so. Use a smaller monitor, an older mobile device, a slower internet connection, etc. Then take that lens and apply it to your SPA genius.

Well, some of my clients are government, so they do care about accessibility. For the rest, I put in some effort, because it's the right thing to do. (As opposed to rendering speed, which I really don't think matters, within reason.)
