Yeah, our org has a big problem with over-generalization in our internal services that I've been pushing back on. Due to the large size of our org, they're under the false impression that our services are large-scale, but they're actually very small compared to anything external-facing.
When a partner team filed a feature request on our team, and I gave them an API that just does exactly what they need, they were like "that's it? No 1GiB graph response to DFS through?"
