People expect the web to work like a desktop app (no page reloads).
Do users expect it, or do product owners expect it? Because from my experience, typical users dgaf if a site is a SPA or is SSR as long as it’s functional and loads quickly. When we did user surveys, the legacy Wordpress version scored just as well as the fancy schmancy React re-write. Only time SPA outscored a traditional web page is (obviously) heavily interactive components (e.g. chat, scheduling calendar)
My personal bane are SPA with fixed scrolling. I’m on a fucking desktop, stop treating me like a fucking monkey incapable of scrolling exactly to where I want and fading text in only while in focus
