How does that work in the modern age of ubiquitous cloud, BYOd, international corporations and global hiring pools? In this world, there's basically no difference between internal and external websites, maybe except for authentication and/or needing a VPN to access, which just exacerbates these problems.

My applications run on intranet/VPN behind IIS with Windows Authentication. If not WA, I would always choose Blazor Wasm, it gives you more control over what you do.

When building internal applications, you can make many assumptions - where are your users and how good is their network connection, how many of them do you have - dozens? hundreds? maybe even thousands, but not millions, so scalability is not a problem. Whether the app will be used on a mobile phones or not. Will it be a problem if your application takes 20 seconds to open? :) If the employee will use it half of the day, then probably no.

My org does none of these so Blazor was a great option for us.

That I do not need consumer grade performance with the people I employ. Sucks but is true for internal apps.
