And when you have to go to the server to get data, it's often slow with a client-side 'app' anyway.

The client-side part doesn't make data transfer any faster.

Right, exactly. I almost wrote something about that, but stopped myself. It's a very common pattern for people to move everything to an SPA for "latency", but then treat the data channel to the browser as if it's a app-server database connection, which is the same thing, but worse.
