You just wanted a simple way to test your REST endpoints, but somehow ended up with a 500MB Electron app that requires OAuth2, stores everything in their proprietary cloud, and needs you to create an account just to send a GET request. The Trojan Horse analogy hits different when you realize modern API clients come bundled with more bloat than Windows Vista. Meanwhile, the defenders of the castle are absolutely stoked to let in this massive wooden horse filled with unnecessary features, forced authentication flows, and subscription models for what should be a simple HTTP client. Sometimes you just miss the days when curl was enough, but hey, at least the UI is pretty, right?
