I tbink going back to opaque SOAP-esque system is a mistake too, but whatever disaster the post's author is seeing about bad security: it's not something I've seen. I dont see a new Meteor problem out here.
What I hate to it is that it's still much harder, much more personal opinion & few standard practices for building rest. OpenAPI has kind of "won" for defining endpoints & there are some fair stub client generators, but the rest ecosystem is far more piecemiel, far less well composed.
It feels like most of the last decade a been exploring alternatives like graphql & others, but little investment in rest & the web principled basics. On the one hand, investing in the existing fundamentals feels obvious, on the other hand, trying to become the winner in this widesweeping arena feels glacially slow of a game. Being an upstart is an easier flag to put up & have people rally to.
