There's a lot of reasons why it would break all of those things. Hacking it so that the URL & history is rewritten when content is loaded is significant extra work.

I have no idea what you mean by indexing, given the word index doesn't feature in the article. You also ignore the problems of making the scrollbar useless & the footer unreachable. I don't see any fix for those issues at all.

You need to choose between having a footer and using infinite scroll. Can't do both.

The way we did it for a product search type website was to show a regular page first, with a "show more" button. After clicking that button, it would auto load the next page(s) on scroll. If all you wanted was the footer, you wouldn't ever experience the auto load.

By index they’re referring to SEO because google indexes pages. Scroll bar is useless? Add a tap to load more button, give the user control of when content loads and now the can scroll comfortably. Need a footer? You can have a sticky one.

These criticisms are all really bad
