Despite my preference for it, I've become convinced that REST/Hypermedia is too hard of a concept for 2024-era development. It requires a deep understanding of many ideas and people aren't able to grasp what it means and what it solves (hint: it is not meant to solve schema design). It ends up being a problem instead of a solution. GraphQL (which is built upon REST, but has a simpler conceptual load) is way better for common everyday webdevelopment.
