That's one reason.
The other is that those API requests need to be rendered with JS which means downloading the JS upfront + rendering time. JS rendering will always be slower than pure HTML rendering.
I will agree for small apps this is negligible, but for bigger apps this means downloading, parsing, and executing MBs of JS. See the Google Cloud console for example or the Spotify web app.
And yet there is another point which is that with SPAs, ignorant developers can cause more "damage". The other day I opened a simple password recovery form, and it rendered dozens and dozens of divs and downloaded (I shit you not) 2MBs of JS.
