I have a really bad network, SPAs are consistently worse in UX than a regular site. There are tons of SPAs that won't even show me a loading indicator when navigating, a regular site will have the browser spinner telling me to wait.

That’s not an argument against SPAs, that’s an argument for investing more time on product discovery stage to understand that this is actually a requirement. When implemented with relatively small effort, it does have better UX.

Yes. Engineers are as guilty of enshittification as managers and shareholders. If „good enough“ replaces „well-built“, no solution choice will save you. The very same engineers will build a backend that sucks.
