I haven't said that something isn't an app, unless it can go long periods of time without server interactions.

Generally, server interactions are arbitrary with SPAs, while SSR will happen all the time.

Going only a few minutes without server interactions in an interactive app is a big leap compared to SSR.

PS: I not only can pull that off, but I did. It's not too hard to think of apps like that. Consider e.g. Vscode

If the app is VSCode or anything like it, that's a great candidate for an SPA and I agree wholeheartedly that you made the right choice.
