Correct. This is only for SPAs that use client side routing like react-router. React SPAs are quite common with startups in my experience.

Crawlers like Google's run JavaScript now though, so your example is outdated.

This isn't only for googlebot but Twitterbot, slackbot, facebookbot and [fill-in-blank]bot that fetch your page to generate a url preview in their app when links from your domain are shared.

If that's your concern it probably makes more sense to just be server-rendering at that point
