If we renamed "SPA" to "using a framework for the frontend" we may be able to stop having so many of these discussions. What is a "page" in an app like Tiktok ? Is Tiktok a SPA or just a single page with an app inside it ?

Not really, we can't. You can still use a framework for the frontend in an MPA website (and you can have an SPA without a framework, although that's rarer), so the distinction still makes sense.

FYI: Tiktok seems to be an SPA with routing and SSR.
