I think you’re correct, it is a tooling problem, but that’s just as valid a problem class as any other. Part of the issue with solving tooling to deal with binary formats is the lack of self documentation. Reading JSON off the wire, its structure is immediately usable and understandable, whereas in most cases for a complex API, a binary protocol requires some foreknowledge of the structure of the data coming back. In the future, if we can create an efficient combination of binary protocol and self-documenting data structure, I’ll gladly change my mind entirely.
