What are the typical uses of PostgREST? is it just when you want to make your database accessible to various languages over HTTP because you don't want to use an ORM and connect to your db? But besides that, for an entreprise solution, why would you use PostgREST to develop your backend rather than, say, use an ORM in your language and make direct queries? (honest question)

You skip the backend entirely and query from the frontend. PostgREST and Postgres is your backend. If you want extra sauce on top you route those paths to an application that does whatever extra imperative operations you need.
