The hypermedia response is not intended to be a bag of data that the client parses and transforms into a view. The HTML response is the view. This is how the basic web works. The browser (as a client) knows how to render HTML. HTML also provides affordances (links and forms) to transition state. Htmx has similar behavior to the basic web. Their client adds additional affordances to HTML and they allow state transition within the page. People may disagree with this approach but to say it is not flexible seems odd when browsers are the most flexible hypermedia client in existence.
