Honestly it depends, there's nuance. There's nothing "wrong" with using react and SPAs and there's nothing wrong with just generating a HTML string server side and returning that. It depends entirely on your use cases and systems.
I would say a lot of people are writing SPAs (with all the complexity it brings) and they probably don't need to.
I guess my overall point is you can't make blanket statements like your article says like "react is fast".
Oh I see. So are there better alternatives?

Oh okay I totally get you. Thanks for the clarification. I was misinformed about this. I'll edit the post a little. Cheers!
