Hi,

I think the "data must be public" condition on getSSP is not really true, and even counter-productive. Being able to statically render more content is most probably positive, in terms of perceived and real performance of the app + energy consumption. It's actually totally possible, and not even that hard thanks to middleware, to statically render custom, paid, segment-specific content (and even individual-specific content under certain conditions).

I've documented the reason for this change in a few places if you want more details:
- related PR on React: https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org/pull/4566
- demo implementation and explanation on how to couple middlewares and getSSP to statically render any kind of content (including custom content): https://blog.vulcanjs.org/render-anything-statically-with-next-js-and-the-megaparam-4039e66ffde
