I work in the second largest region of my country, which is not where many of the hip tech firms are located. And it shows in the tech stacks around here, it’s mainly C#, JAVA and PHP and no one is really doing the no-page-reload front-ends, and no one seems to care.

Startups in my area are actually doing better than they are in our main tech hub despite most of them using what Silicon Valley would call fairly boring and extremely old tech stacks such as ASP MVC.
