You're not using that word correctly, since this is not a pattern it's an architecture.

Please don't misuse words, especially in a negative context to mean "something I don't like", it cheapens the word in legitimate cases.

No comment on whether SPAs are worth anything though, I reserve my opinion.

architecture doesn't contain patterns? architectures don't follow certain patterns?

you've never seen certain architectures that smell because they're not following an established pattern?

So, it's an anti-pattern of an architecture.
