We don't need a profusion of operations in the core protocol. Do you need idempotence or not? Pick from one of these two things and elaborate on top of that.

Having "create many", "update many", and "delete many" is three additional operations. Profusion may not be the word I'd use. Also, I will say they are very commonly requested operations, and they've lead to POST becoming overloaded in meaning.

Alternatively, in a GraphQL server, everything becomes POST and it all becomes meaningless.
