The downside is that this makes it really easy for developers to avoid making an actual API. The turbo frames _are_ the API. Great to bootstrap, but miserable if you ever want to implement a native mobile app (or any other client) on top of the same codebase.

1. There's a library to add this into native apps fast. 2. In the case of rails (Hotwire is not actually tied to rails at all) it's really easy to turn any endpoint into a RESTful API, just use respond_to to send json or anything else being requested.
