> sending the full dataset (*which could be fine if it's small*)
In the specific case of search/filter pages, I prefer the server-side rendered experience as a user. If I want to just check the box for RAM and search instantly, I can do that. But if I want to build a more complex query I don't need it to keep updating over and over.
I don't necessarily hate the auto-updating pages if they are implemented well. I just don't think they're any better, so why waste dev hours on it? It costs money to maintain that code, and the more of these pointless little JS applications you bake into your website the more expensive it is to build and maintain.
