I don't have any data on it but I think people gradually came to accept the slower loading times as a reasonable cost, in return they got true multimedia and the fat client experience (first with flash, then jquery and so on) which was impossible in hypermedia.

Currently node unifies (or seems to unify) the FE and BE into something that looks pretty worrying (or rather alien) to someone who grew up with LAMP stack and CGI for dynamic content.

Doesn't htmx use server side rendering for everything? So every interaction incurs a network roundtrip?

Yes, and returning a html fragment is generally fast.

Only if you're on a good connection and close to the data centre.
