Official statement
For a non-indexed page, especially on a SPA, use Google Search Console and the URL inspection tool to verify if Googlebot can render the page correctly. If the content is not visible after rendering, Google may see the page as an error or lacking content, which prevents indexing.

TL;DR
Indexing may fail if the content rendered by Googlebot is not visible. Use Google Search Console to check the rendering of pages, especially for SPAs. Without properly rendered content, your page is seen as empty.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Pourquoi ma page n'est-elle pas indexée malgré un bon contenu ?

Pour une SPA, la Google Search Console est quasi indispensable pour vérifier que le rendu du contenu est correct pour Googlebot.
