Backend and frontend are different species and require different skillsets. It's much easier to scale from an organizational perspective using SPA's, especially in companies where software is not the core product (think non-tech Fortune 500).

Yes, I agree with you that organisational scaling is easier when having BE and FE handled by different people.
I am not yet convinced that optimising for organisational scaling could be technical benefits.
Can you please clarify this?
If you are referring to a web app time to market I mostly see otherwise.
Here is an example: create a form to edit user settings. In Rails/Django it is pretty simple straightforward. But if you go React then you have an API and a component in React and have to think about routes and security of API and validations on both FE and BE.
There are advantages for SPA probably but time to market is not one of them in this case.
If you are referring to creating a mobile app and a webapp then maybe React with React Native is indeed faster. With this I agree. But I personally prefer to wait for Hotwire to launch their mobile framework and use that.
