So you're talking about a page where the results are generated according to what the user asks for at the request time, but doesn't otherwise need to change.

If it were a blog, or a corporate info page, I'd rather use a CMS. That way I don't write HTML at all. It would just hand me minimal interactivity.

If it were a shopping site, I'd probably want more interaction than just a single "like" button. I'd want to filter results, sort them, edit a shopping cart, etc.

It doesn't sound appropriate for visualization. It might be useful for a dashboard, but the more people expect to interact with the dashboard, the more likely it'll tip over into SPA territory.

I'm sure there's a niche, but it feels kind of narrow. It's complicated enough to require programming, but not complicated enough to require an SPA.
