Because SSR has a couple of advantages depending on the use case.

The most obvious is SEO and being able to send HTML without any JavaScript.

Doing SSR is also simpler than a well made SPA, generally speaking. Your api can be reduced to post requests, or removed entirely. The routing and navigation is much simpler. Etc.

Technically true but in practice many SPAs will suffer form lower lighthouse scores which will affect page rank. Of course, this is not the case for SPAs that were optimized from the start, but that is rarely the case in the real world.
