I don't know, I still think you're much more likely to have a frontend dev get annoyed by having to kick off 20 requests (and seeing that perf impact in their own devtools) and ask backend to give them an endpoint that can get all the content in one go.

Maybe, but is it really a good idea to rely on the laziness of developers and hope they give you feedback? I've not seen this work out well so far.

To my mind, a system architecture that does not take into account is the flawed one, not the other way around.

Taking into account is one thing, but relying on lazyness... I don't know, I'm not convinced
