Tangential question, is github a proof that not every complex app has to be an SPA and it can worked really well or is this legacy thing from their part?

Curious to know if they feel they could iterate faster new features for the UI if it were an SPA.

A lot of apps that started with Rails take that approach, including Github, Airbnb, Basecamp (which technically started Rails), and a few others.

Some companies start API first or mobile app first, which makes SPAs much more likely.
