> This looks like an effort to bring to REST APIs some of the benefits GraphQL offers, mainly by adding extensive conventions on top of traditional HTTP endpoints.
This was my take-away as well. There are a couple of full-featured frameworks in GraphQL land -- Hasura[0] and Prisma[1] spring to mind, among others -- that enforce conventions and in exchange allow you to specify a sort_by array and operate on a standardized payload without exposing too much non-essential configuration.
