I don't disagree with you in general, but I don't think it's fair to characterise the sentiment as purely simply anti-SPA.
There's a lot of people that dislike the SPA-as-default movement, where simple websites could be written in a more traditional manner. Add that with a lot of people that dislike the fact that native applications are being replaced by lower-performance web-tech ones.
But we still see a lot of love for PhotoPea, for example. And I don't think anyone with anti-SPA ideas believes that things like Google Maps and Google Docs should be rewritten as SSR or something. And even the Electron haters admit that VSCode is a great piece of software.
