I thought I was alone in this, but I build all my personal projects this way! I wish I could use this approach at work, but too many colleagues crave "engineering."

Doesn't that make for exponentially more requests to get the same data, or possibly more data than you really need (bloated responses)?
Some people really overdo HTTP verbs /GET, /POST, /PUT, /DELETE and leave much work to frontend. Irks me a lot.
But then again, there's GraphQL because frontend developers thought backend developers are anti social.

If I understand you correctly, I don't think of it as overdoing HTTP verbs so much as using an excessively naive mapping between HTTP resources and base table entities.
