> The majority of routers for React, and other SPA frameworks, do this out of the box. This has been a solved problem for half a decade at least. A website has to go out of its way to mess this up.

99% of people don't FRICKING care.

Most of the users I have to deal with still have problems with double clicking.

They don't understand basic browser features.

They don't understand that they can set preferred language in their browser.

History related features are not an argument in any way.

Because they don't care about computer stuff. They just have to do computer stuff because they are forced to.

Shit you gotta do not because you want to but because you have to, you care even more that it works without hassle.

This is so obvious that not seeing it is weird, and claiming not to see it is weirdly defensive.

They do care that it works. That's the point being discussed.
