I'm pretty sure this was discussed at ng-conf and it wasn't implemented by the core team after another team in Google asked them for the same functionality.
I see service workers and web sockets (the client) dealing with the additional overhead of SPA in future. Merging the backend and frontend would just kill it for many companies as you're dictating backend for a frontend framework.

Too opinionated IMO.
