If an API is truly RESTful does that automatically mean it's a high quality API? Does that mean it is functional, performant, reliable, secure, and generally well designed? No. An API can be RESTful and also trash. An API can also be non-REST and be amazing.
Is the author correct in that APIs are inaccurately calling themselves RESTful? Yes, yes they are very correct. Congratulations. Here's a trophy for being correct. Now let's focus on what matters, and that is building software that works and works well, REST or not.
Please dump the pedantry and focus on practicality.
