Pretty much every app I've ever needed required an API, which meant a server, which meant Next.js would have been a viable candidate. Sure, there are use-cases that you truly don't need an API or you can just hook up to an existing one, but I don't think they're nearly as common.

I don't think any of what you're saying really makes much sense.

Merely having a server doesn't mean SSR provides business-relevant benefits.

Next.js provides API routes / initial serverside loaders for your routes. Disable SSR, Next.js still benefits from being able to write CRUD code in the same codebase and most applications need that anyways
