I'm my observation, as a nearly-30-year-vet in the field, it's due to the same factors as always. The technology doesn't enforce the standard. So people do any fucking thing they want because they honestly don't know any better.
I'm working on an app right now. On one of the controllers there is a single endpoint, out of about 30 (which should fucking tell you something right there) that conforms to restful standards. Every single other one of them is wrong. Because folks didn't know better and leaders didn't lead/teach/know any better themselves.
