You're splitting hairs. In practice, if all you're dealing with from the DOM is one canvas element and a URL that's static, you've pretty much "done away" with the DOM.

That's not true at all. You need some way of interacting with a back end (as well as the browser.) Whether that's via forms or AJAX requests, you need more from the DOM. The DOM is not just a GUI toolkit.
I am not splitting hairs, you are glossing over serious limitations to this approach.
