Yeah but why would we keep that around for 20 years with no good use case

Why do you assume theres no good use case?

trpc, grpc, etc are all attempts to add schemas back into JSON. Swagger, OpenAPI, etc are attempts to add discover ability back into JSON-based RPC APIs.

MCPs fall in here as well, which attempt to add schemas and discover ability back in where our APIs aren't actually RESTful.
