You're just casually glossing over the fact that the server-rendered + jquery approach was already a distributed system, just with less explicit boundaries and more ad-hoc patterns for managing and updating that state.
It all just depends on the product though, if the client-side interactions are minimal enough than I agree the server-rendered approach can be better. I was just saying I don't see this as the inherently better way, there are pros and cons to each approach.
