This thinking is why most SPAs are utter shit for the end user. Most developers are so happy about their ergonomics and how cool their tools are and don’t care at all the application uses 200M on your browser and every key stroke takes 200ms to show in an input.

This also happens in the backend, but the difference is that the company país the price in the form of more infrastructure. But in the frontend is “free” so why care at all, right?

that's a problem with the choice to go spa instead of ssr or static, not the choice to use a framework with productivity benefits. with every major meta-framework working seamlessly with the popular serverless hosts, it's a wonder anyone takes spa seriously in any performance-sensitive context
