Even for larger sites, it can be trivial, but I prefer to look at it from a non SPA/state-mgmt point of view.

Not every site needs to be an SPA. Or even a 'react app'. I visit a page, record your metrics on the backend for all I care, you have the request headers etc, just send me the data I need, nothing else.

It doesn't have to be ugly or even lacking some flair, 500KB is a lot of text. Per page request, with ootb browser caching, there's no excuse. People have forgotten that's all you need.

Edit : No they havent, they just can't monetize optimizations.
