Every week someone posts some half-baked blog ramble about how SPAs are bad (except for media sites!).
How about this - I am just as or more efficient working with SPA frameworks such as React as working with server-side-rendering. I have invested in a skill and toolset that can deliver any sort of website or web application from blogs to Youtube to Figma. I don't see any reason I would invest in learning an MPA framework that is only good for a subset of that.
If you are delivering content-only website with simple forms you might as well just use a CMS and call it a day.
Why are wood shops loaded to the rafters with tools? Because there is no Golden Hammer, only people who think they’ve found one.
You’re saying you’re doubling down on a single solution, which is probably not actually true, but you are surrounded by younger developers who will copy what you seem to be doing rather than what you’re actually doing.
All of these unresolved arguments are about team dynamics, not technology, which is why they never get resolved. Because we talk about our experiences or “objective” things like logic.

No, it's definitely about technology. Let me simplify this for you. Technology A can do thing 1 very well, and thing 2 decently. Technology B can do thing 2 well, but can't do thing 1 at all.
In reality, people who only do technology B claim technology B is necessary to do thing 2 and go to great extents to write blog posts claiming such, while people who only do technology A get on with doing things 1 and 2 without feeling the need to rant.
