I'm not saying it's secure, I haven't studied any of it. I got off this train a lot of stops back when it became clear I did not have a compatible worldview to deal with it.

I'm not against the use of SAML if you think it's what you want, I'm simply against the concept of a SPA and I am not sorry or sad that people think SAML doesn't work well with them. To me that suggests we got it pretty right.

In the end though, I'm not sure what the difference is between a code being accessible to javascript and making a session cookie accessible to it. Same thing, isn't it?
