Oh, for sure. A company can just mandate something internally, whether it's a good idea or not. But superior approaches tend to slowly win out on merit even in the wider world. Often by standardizing existing practices, like OpenAPI did.

And I believe that strict prescriptive APIs with code generation are superior. This is also mirrored by the dynamic and static typing languages. I remember how dynamic languages were advertised in early 2000-s as more "productive" than highly prescriptive C++/Java.

But it turned out to be a mistake, so now even dynamic languages are gaining types.
