A company site is not a dashboard
Many business websites do not need a client-side application shell for primary navigation. They need stable URLs, semantic HTML, fast first render, clear metadata, and content that search engines and assistive technology can consume without waiting for client hydration.
Progressive enhancement is enough for most interactions
Mobile navigation, accessible disclosures, bot challenges, and light form hints can be layered onto server-rendered pages. The content itself should not depend on browser-only routing or JavaScript execution.
Operational simplicity matters
A smaller runtime and dependency surface reduces what teams need to patch, review, monitor, and explain. That is not nostalgia; it is a practical choice for public web properties where trust and speed matter.
