If you have static content, then sure, serve up some SSR HTML. But pages with even static content usually have some form of interactivity, like searching (suggestions/auto-complete), etc. 🤷♂️
Back in my day, we’d take that fully-functional form and do progressive enhancement to add that functionality on top with js. You know, back when we (or the people paying us) gave a fuck.
That site is literally just static content. Yes JS is needed for interactivity, but there’s none here

Search is easier to implement without Javascript than with.
<form method="GET" action="/search"> <input name="q"> <input type=submit> </form>
Does that little snippet include suggestions, like I mentioned? Of course it’s easier with less functionality.
