yeah. RPC masquerading as REST is what people do now.
if your web service had a truly RESTful design then all you would need to do is point something like postman (or a browser) at it and it would be able to automagically figure out the whole set of available resources and interactions instead of having to use all this crazy swagger/OpenAPI stuff. there's a whole cottage industry around this api stuff rn.
i guess this is what happens when you put "programmers" in charge of a hypermedia system. everything becomes an RPC and nothing is standardised.
