I on the contrary applaud whoever built the new citizenship application form as HTML. It saved state money and users time. I’m quite sure it would have taken longer and worked worse if it was a SPA built by the gov. contractors.

But what value does an HTML form alone have? Compared to the old offline version, you have more trouble authenticating before filling it out (which isn't worth anything because you have to sign it anyway...).
