React and friends made themself show up on every party. Even if the model isn't remotely appropriate for the taks at hand, you have to argue about them. I am convinced that half the modern frontend devs don't even know how a "classic" web app could work. SPAs or frameworks usually used for SPAs are the default state and there isnn't any competitive option with a real name except jquery/ajax/html. Even talking about the latter will brand you as dinosaur in many circles.
