No, I don't (what a shitty strawman), I create abstractions then, like any other project. Surely you don't have hundreds of completely original and bespoke requests? Previously I've handled thousands of requests by having a .csv to load from.

Absolutely I do. It’s not like a few hundred endpoints is out of the ordinary in any mid sized company.
I can go an edit any of the requests with autoformatting, highlighting and whatnot.
As I say, you can keep your csv and abstractions, not trying to convince you that you should switch from whatever works for you.
Actually I don't even create those collections, we have OpenAPI/Swagger docs for all of our APIs and I just import them with a couple of clicks (which I'm sure there's a way to do with curl).
For the odd requests, and sharing requests with others? I use curl, no problem. I actually think I know it pretty well and very rarely need to look up any docs for it.
