How so? This assertion might be conflating your idea of what an investment dashboard should be like and how it should behave with what some team or company has concluded a customer wants. It is inherently a product decision. Actually, claiming server side rendered app suffices for any real estate investment dashboard sounds like the ”developer deciding” angle.
Unless you truly are claiming that there never is need for anything except server side rendered payloads in the internet. In which case it’s hard to explain why companies don’t do that. It’s almost as if there are product oriented reasons to have webapps. I think the original comment’s logic stands correct
