Why?

Because the architectures like microservice or blockchain of applying theia, on most time they’re not necessarily required backend. The backend and frontend should be pluggable.

Theia is not designed to run without the backend. It relies on many JSON-RPC services, e.g. to provide languages or filesystem access. In theory, if you can reimplement them when it is possible, but it would be a lot of development and maintenance work.
