That's exactly the point I see...? To build a website (as opposed to a web application) with mostly static content and maybe some interactive embedded content, do not use N*xt.js. Use a CMS or static site generator or whatever instead. Without any fancy client-side URL routing and whatnot. Just let the browser do its thing.
That being said, some frameworks support a SSR-only approach or even static site generation. That's also fine IMHO. Just use what you like! If you like Ruby on Rails, why not? Angular SSR? Gotcha.
I tried multiple tools like Jekyll and Hugo but found them terribly clunky. Then I found Astro and now I'm happy. Reasonably similar to SPA frameworks, but generates a static site.
