The backend and frontend are still there... Just all tangled directly into database code

Yeah, I exaggerated a bit. It's just that where it used to be postgres + node + react + html, then the middle two have been cut.

And I'm actually not contesting the value of a regular back-end and a front-end framework: postgrest and htmx make it easy to achieve more with configuration, but this only works up to a degree. After that point the benefits of a custom application start to overweight its absence.
