Users don't care about your tech stack

There's been a fair bit of research on this. People don't like slow interfaces. They may not necessarily _recognise_ that that's why they don't like the interface, but even slowdowns in the 10s of ms range can make a measurable difference to user sentiment.

And yet even Amazon, eBay, and Wikipedia don’t see value in building an SPA. Chew on that.

SPAs, in practice, tend to be slower than well-done conventional/old-fashioned webapps, and, particularly for Wikipedia-type applications, have all sorts of other usability concerns. Like, which feels more responsive, wikipedia or some random SPA?

Presumably they would if there were significant performance benefits of SPAs.
