Yeah this dynamic definitely exists. I think this is because there's a big mismatch between what frontend wants ("we'd prefer a single, super fast endpoint with no params") and what backend wants ("we automatically exposed our database tables complete with RBAC, query away"). Backend engineering has more or less become all implementing this mapping layer, whether it's with graphql resolvers, db views, or whatever, but the work to be done is like 90% here.
