Using useSWR with App Router

I've been in the process of migrating my application to the Next App router and leveraging server components & server data fetching the best I can

With how the App router pushes more of a focus on fetching from the server, is there really any need for me still to be using client fetching libraries such as useSWR?

I've been using it even with the app router when I want to periodically fetch new data e.g. on focus change or on an interval

Gotcha, that’s a good use case
