In a strange way the adoption of JS SPA's has made the "thinking-not-required" backend frameworks like Rails and Django less "opinionated" and thus requiring more thinking.

I don't know about the Ruby/Rails ecosystem but in Django there are now quite a few different ways to deliver the "same" user functionality depending on how much one splits the load between front / backend, whether and how much it is structured around DRF etc.
