As someone who has written one-page-apps, I see how we have ended up with
(at least some) one-URL-for-all solutions.  For one-page apps, that one URL
is OK (although even then having individual URLs is a good thing for many
reasons).

But yeah, sometimes over-simplification happens.

In this case, the pages are documentation and direct linking them is
valuable, especially since finding specific content can take a little
digging.
