Because anchor tags cause full page reloads and lose app state. Link updates the URL without a reload, which is what makes client-side routing work and preserves the single-page experience.
Without it, invalid URLs show a blank page. A catch-all 404 route handles invalid URLs gracefully, showing a not-found message instead of nothing, which is much better UX.
