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. There are still plenty of people who use many different tools for the job, and they're perfectly content, building great app-websites.
And by the way, I tried to sign up to this site with a .svg as an avatar and it told me "bad data-uri"; you can limit accepted file types in the markup. ;)
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...
You got a little romantic there at the end.
