Not sure what kind of clients you work with, but in my experience this is actually accurate and you won’t believe how many times I had to put my hands and fix SPAs that should have been a static website to begin with.
I think this is a consequence of a generation of webdevs, especially front-end, that graduated from bootcamps teaching them only JS frameworks and React as if that’s the only way the Web works.
They were given a hammer, told how to use it, and everything then just looks like a nail.
