I completely agree with the sentiment that we don’t need SPAs and similar tech for news sites and dashboards and the myriad crud apps we use on a day to day basis but I think what you’re proposing is throwing the baby out with the bath water. How would a site like google maps, which I’m sure we can all agree is extremely useful, work in a Web 1.0 style world? It needs to dynamically load tiles and various other resources. The web being a place where we can host and instantly distribute complex cross-platform interactive software in a fairly secure sandbox is a modern marvel.

That ship has sailed. The web is nowadays an application delivery platform and there is no going back. Dynamic loading, iframes, and a whole host of other features all have their uses within that context - the issue is really their misuse and overuse.
