Atleast frontend and backend needs to be decoupled in almost any development for the future. I work with several legacy apps where we use python requests just to collect data. It's a huge pain when https certificate expires, when they change something in validation header and when they deploy a new 'field'. Most CRUD applications do need a place when you can collect all the data after the backend process all the business logic without touching the frontend.

Almost the entire RPA industry revolves around the idea of supporting this legacy apps problem -- scrapping content and not worrying about them breaking.
