You don't seem to have even the slightest idea of what you're talking about here. Again, I suggest checking out the htmx essays and their hypermedia.systems book
It should be obvious that the thing doing the interpretation and navigation is a human, not an automated system.
i dont have any clue why people keep bringing up automated systems in this discussion. its not relevant. Hypermedia - and REST - is for humans
If you need an http json api for bots to consume, go for it. They are not mutually exclusive.
