If you are just working on a small website and you don't care about SEO or supporting more than, I dunno, a thousand users, then sure. But if you ever expect to do more than that, I might call you naive, yeah. One big thing: what if you want to support SSR, which I think is a pretty basic requirement these days? I'd submit that supporting SSR will take you a bit more than 50 lines.

That's why I emphasized _routing in a single page application_. If one needs SEO, a client-rendered single page application is the wrong choice, regardless of the router.

I agree it's a basic requirement for a certain class of apps and websites, but there are tons of apps for which SSR is not relevant and even detrimental (in the sense that it adds complexity that is not offset by the benefits it brings).
