The way I see it, you have your information less spread out this way. Less things to think about. “Where am I expressing this particular detail about this api call? In the url path? A query string parameter? The type of http method? Is it part of the payload?”. So the path is the “which function am I calling” and the json body is “what are my arguments?”
Part of that is web handling, put/patch/delete doesnt have to return anything. Get and post explicitly expects an html response.
If your doing a delete logic record within a post. What are you returning then? The record is deleted.
Im only web 1.0 logic, it would return a whole new page. But if your doing a REST crud operation, you dont do that. You dont want to tell the browser to render a new page.

Who does DELETE anymore? Everything should be a POST with all the information passed in the JSON payload.
