I'm happily writing PHP and using Svelte as a frontend framework. (shrug) JAM stack's neat but I don't think it's fair to say "we" as developers as using it all that much yet.

Riddle me this: What is an API? We haven't lost any servers, php (or any other language) from the stack, we've merely changed where those elements get put. e.g. if you want to write something with your own data, that there isn't an API for or dont want to pay for, you still need a server to do that Lambda, or whatever you want to call it, functionality on...
