REST has issues if you limit yourself to think of the “resources” as your domain entities. If you have a long running search, the resource is the search. Create a search. Fetch search results. Delete the search when you’re done. Similarly, if you have a sufficiently complex command, the resource is the command itself. Maybe it requires async work, and you can later fetch the command results. Anecdotally, this seems to be too big of a leap in mental model for beginners, mostly because all of the REST learning path does is teach you how to use it in CRUD domains.
