That's exactly my point. It's a website. It's meant to be consumed by browsers, so it's fine if the served resource is a SPA that renders the content lazily or whatever. The claim that SPAs somehow violate HTTP seems weird to me.

FWIW I actually agree with the underlying principle. It's just that I have specific things I'm aiming for with my site that require JS. I wish browsers were simpler. But that ship has sailed. In my perfect world, the JS-app functionality of browsers would be broken off into a separate "app player" application that users would download, and browsers would be stripped down to basic HTML and a subset of CSS (essentially fonts, colors, and flexbox). In that world I would definitely have an HTML-only version of my blog.
