It's not maligned. I've worked on some complex backends some time ago and I would never call those glorified CRUD apps. But my current project is basically Node backend with almost zero business logic. You hit GET endpoint, it returns someORMRepository.find('events').where({ category: 'FUN' }). That's it. React side displays a table with some basic sorting and filtering. Editing and creating and entry is just a basic form. I don't see how else could I call it, it's not that much different from CRUD demos you see in blog posts.
