The verb-oriented style is part of the problem. Too many verbs is the problem. Java/OOP problems are not the same as the REST style, which is entirely about Nouns. There's none of the Java ManagerFactoryManager problems.

The generated client from an IDL that wraps the network protocol with a function call is also part of the problem.

REST APIs that have function calls that aren't "Send Request and wait for Response" aren't REST. ("wait for response" doesn't imply synchronous implementation, but HTTP is a request/response oriented protocol).
