Citations very much needed for REST. JsonSchema is not human readable. Some RPC yes but their support on web tech is meh (grpc-web for example is a mess).

Having written large code bases in graphql I really disagree with this statement. It is just a different mindset and I like it. It does make you think way more in terms of data and their relations instead of endpoints. Sure you might get N+1 problems but its easy to mitigate and I prefer doing that on the backend instead of the frontend doing those calls.
