1) "Web application development" doesn't happen in a vacuum. Often it happens in contexts where the "backend" is also consumed by various non-web applications. In those contexts, collapsing the frontend and backend back into 1 component is less of the slam dunk than it's made out to be in this post.
2) The missing piece is how you can achieve this "collapsing" back of functionality into single SSR deployable(s) while still preserving the ability to scale out a large web application across many teams. Microfrontends + microservices could be collapsed into SSR "microapplications" that are embedded into their hosting app using iframes?
