Might get downvoted for this but I'm not happy with how nextjs keeps expanding its scope. I don't want my server side react lib to do have anything to do with my deploy set up. Same with how nextjs now wants to meddle with my rest API. So while I use nextjs for some things I am having to opt out of more and more pieces of it.

"I don't want my server side react lib to do have anything to do with my deploy set up." You can deploy Next.js anywhere that has a Node.js server. It's not dependent on any deployment set up.

"Same with how nextjs now wants to meddle with my rest API." -> You also don't have to use API Routes! It's completely opt-in.
