The entire point of an API is decoupling. A decoupled API makes double sense for a SPA. It's the client-server architecture on a silver platter.

This idea got muddled when people started making websites as SPAs, which necessitated SSR for SEO and first-page load. Now you blurred the lines between client and server, otherwise known as isomorphism, which is a good sounding word for a bad idea.
