I don't think anyone has ever used REST in the way you are using it - the sibling comment points out that HATEOAS is probably what you mean - this generally embeds links to all resources, full data navigation, next/prev links, and so on. It is true that a proper HATEOAS client should be able to navigate an endpoint completely with just a starting address.

Yeah unfortunately despite it being part of the REST definition, nowadays "REST" has become a term that means "REST but without HATEOAS". Similar to how "API" now means specifically "HTTP API that returns JSON", or "AI" now means "Generative AI specifically".
