I remember when one of the "Core Goals" of Postman was "Complete control over your data - Keep simple JSON based data formats which can be exported and shared as per user needs".

When Postman started becoming shit, I started using Insomnia, which is also turning into shit now.
Good thing is that we can start using Insomnium now.
It is unmaintained.
This is the cost of devs focusing on corporate gains and not their craft.
Do you apply the same logic to your plumber? Your accountant? The 'craft' is something you do for customers in order to make money to eat.
The plumber doesn't start to install additional pipes that require an annual fee, or spying on me "because you know, nothing to hide", or any other nonsense we are seeing in software.
