> Intentionally? It's RPC. Remote procedure calls. An approach that has made a comeback in the front-end space recently. There was tRPC; then react made a splash with the release of its server components; then other frameworks started emulating the approach. I think Svelte now has something similar with its "remote functions". And Solid has been working on something similar; so that SolidStart now has a "use server" pragma. They probably don't replicate React's protocol; but the idea of calling functions on the server is similar.

> An approach that has made a comeback in the front-end space recently. It wasn’t really a “comeback,” RPC never lost popularity. We just called them “REST” APIs that were a barely disguised adhoc JSON RPC format with a few CRUD verbs tacked on for routing requests.

  If people even bothered with the CRUD verbs instead of making everything POST

RPC is normally more explicit than this, or when it's not, it's server2server stuff like in Erlang.
