I don't agree with this logic one bit. What you seem to be experiencing is SPA's that can use improvement. There is no reason why a SPA is required to load the entire app at once. There are many ways to split out the code so that each page only loads the bare minimum of what it needs. It is totally possible to provide a better user experience on mobile devices when the app only has to download the JSON required to render the next page. There are many tricks that can be done to take advantage of this. The SPA can load the bare minimum to render the page requested and then start pre loading the rest of the app or leave it on demand.

While I agree that there are many situations where a straight port of a static site to a SPA doesn't give too much benefit, it sets them up to move to more advanced interactions moving forward.

The web, although maybe not originally intended, has become the most powerful software platform we have. Things are getting dramatically better and the rate of innovation isn't showing any signs of this slowing down. It is already amazing and it's going to get better.
