I blame it on Next.js Overall, it is a good framework. I have no problems with Next.js as a codebase.

Vercel is a company that needs to sell a product, however. Since they are selling servers - the profit is to market the value of SSR and how easy it is to deploy to the Vercel platform.

While there are valid reasons for SSR. Static generation and data fetching via API patterns can offer the same performance and more flexibility (like as in building an offline-first "PWA" app)

I would love for Vercel to become better and improve their pricing along with add support for something such as custom serverless functions like AWS Lambda in runtimes other than Node.js -- regardless, Next.js has pretty good compatibility with things such as AWS Lambda or even Netlify.
