I made a start to try to introduce the topic in a less techno-dense way. It probably could say more but unless I'm telling an actual lie, please don't revert or change it back to "incredibly technical". Ordinary people (eg scrum masters) might like to know what REST is.

Reading the first paragraph, especially the first sentence, has real semantic problems: only by clicking the cross reference could I begin to grasp what might have been intended. The words "architectural style" are particularly at issue, as architectural style is commonly related to the original meaning of architecture as a description of a building looks and is constructed. The use of architecture for software is metaphorical and it is unclear what a style means in that context. For instance, for the word style to be meaningful in this sentence other software architectural styles should exist, and be known, and should be referenced in the paragraph to provide context. Similar semantic which-ups exist in the remainder of the paragraph where cross-references are used in a sentence construct that does not really make clear how the linked concept relates to REST. I'll do an edit and hopefully we can get that tag removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EduardKarelEtc ( talk • contribs) 13:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
