yes! REST is kind of like HTML... source available by default, human-readable, easy to inspect GRPC is for machines efficiently talking to other machines... slightly inconvenient for any human in the loop (whether that's coding or inspecting requests and responses) The different affordances make sense given the contexts and goals they were developed in, even if they are functionally very similar.
