The main limitation on using frames/iframes for different sections of the same UI was that they couldn't impact the primary URL, which means if you click a link in one of them, then reload the page, the frame gets reset to its default view. Charitably, I can see some small benefit to the idea of having "frames but they aren't bad", instead of having every JS framework reimplement its own view routing.

Uncharitably, this probably just gives Google more ability to track/control your interaction with sites that it links you to.
