this reminds me of the time they removed the vulcan cannon during the start of vietnam war because they thought the days of dog fighting was over because of missiles.

Then their jets started falling left and right and they ended up installing it back again.

I don't feel that's a proper analogy. We save a ton of time by only doing a single layout/rendering system. If a page pulls in 5+ different assets to render, doing it on the server means we gotta come up with a lot more logic to get it done on the client side. And what better way than to just run a browser to get it all done. It's like the ultimate server-side renderer framework.
