There's no reason for you to hold that opinion so strongly.

There's nothing inherently wrong with having a 200 for everything with a standard body structure, and there's nothing wrong with having a GET request with a body.

Where things go off the rails is strictly adhering to a specific thing without understanding the advantages and disadvantages of other approaches.
