This has been a bit of a long-standing question: why do the index routes always have a 404 error on them?
It was initially for simplicity and we were depending on a "try files" style implementation to allow it to work but recently our hosting provider for the ember guides has changed something about 404 errors and they now time out after a few minutes instead of returning quickly.
This is the first step to fix that.
I mention in the comment that it's not a perfect solution but it does work and will fix the majority of issues on the majority of pages 👍
