That doesn't stop today's dynamically updating pages that also break the back button.

Frames also broke the back button when they were first introduced!

Together with the other early problems - ugly borders, proliferation of scrollbars, and limited browser compatibility - it meant that frames were seen as a usability disaster right from the start.

They never managed to fully shake that reputation even as browsers improved in the later 90s.
