Having maintained both JavaScript SPAs and Blazor apps for the past 4 years, I disagree with the article's point about Blazor being more complex. I've had way more issues keeping JS tooling running and having to spend time fixing issues when I upgrade packages. Things really get fun when you have to produce an SBOM for security audit. You can generally get by with way fewer dependencies in a Blazor app and the build process starts simple and can get as complex as you want it to be. Another point not mentioned in the article is that Blazor can also run directly on local hardware - desktop or mobile. This doesn't use WASM or web sockets and runs at full native speed. This is a big deal where I work since we can run the exact same UI on kiosks as well as on a web site, with essentially the backend swapped out.
