Are you sure users are really the ones demanding this?

It's more likely that "modern FE" is imposing this additional complexity on itself for other reasons, because most sites are still boring old crud apps that don't need anything "modern". The canonical example is the Todo app, which is...crud.

I don't think it's the users fault.
