Doesn't that make for exponentially more requests to get the same data, or possibly more data than you really need (bloated responses)?

Some people really overdo HTTP verbs /GET, /POST, /PUT, /DELETE and leave much work to frontend. Irks me a lot.

But then again, there's GraphQL because frontend developers thought backend developers are anti social.

    If I understand you correctly, I don't think of it as overdoing HTTP verbs so much as using an excessively naive mapping between HTTP resources and base table entities.
