I see you aren't saying don't server render.. but rather why bother hydrating? Like Server render what you need on the server and then sprinkle on some client side JavaScript where needed interactivity.

Yeah this is mostly a developer experience consideration, but I don't think it is too far of a stretch. It is a bit like asking do you need to use frameworks, and the answer, of course, is no. Yet we still do. All of this is to allow authoring a single app experience and have it just work across the board. One that leverages declarative patterns for organizing code. There are organizational/scaling concerns too but not every project needs to worry about that.

It seems you are familiar with most the reasoning and in the same way I won't convince people who want to use Vanilla JS to do everything instead of using frameworks, I'm not going to convince you otherwise. All I got for that is, been there, tried that before, and wasn't completely satisfied. So let's see what else we can do.
