Rendering with JS causes many difficulties. It often simply makes the content less useful - how do we index such a page for efficient discovery (search) for example. Running JS locally to render pages is problematic and often does not work.

I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to commerce sites that use infinite scroll - scroll down - click on and look at a product - back button to listing page returns to top of scrolling page making me scroll down again. What a waste of time.
